Pull Peddlers

Some people will try and make money on anything, even other people's problems. If they have "pull," they can always find a way to peddle it. For instance, in Colorado, they're talking about allowing people with no passengers in the "high-occupancy" lanes if they can pay for it. People who can't, or won't, will continue to be required to have two or more people in the car. Another proposal is to charge skiers $12 toll if they drive from Denver to the "ski country" during "rush hour" on weekends. And they're already selling special ID cards that will allow frequent fliers who can afford it that will allow them to "fly" through airport security lines ahead of everybody else in five minutes. People who do this kind of thing I call "Pull Peddlers."
