It's not really so much of a walk if they are taking the train now, is it?

You have to walk a few blocks from Union Station to the Capitol.

Is this the thread we get to point out the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is not a government agency?

You also have to walk to the train before boarding it. McDonald's hasn't perfected the drive-thru-walk-in yet; that alone is costing the government billions a year.

Actually, the train is powered by poor people underneath it dragging it under their own muscles, so it still technically counts.

Taking a train system funded through taxpayer subsidies to complain about government taxation? Bootstrappy

Given that I'm sure there are a large number of supremely ignorant people out there.... yes.

It's actually vice versa: The US Government is their agency.
