California allows people with enough money to by new Hybrid cars and use the diamond lane for commuting. How can the most liberal state in the union do this to the poor. California now supports a two class commuter system, the rich whom get to use the commuter lane with only one occupent in the car and the poor whom do not.

The "carpool" lanes are designed to encourage the reduction of fuel consumption and pollution caused by cars. Two hybrid cars would arguably use less fuel than one SUV with two passengers, so it meets the same goal.
It has nothing to do with class or income equality, and shouldn't.
liberal politics has nothing to do with helping the poor, it has to do with making the rich and powerful feel all warm and fuzzy about themselves.

Liberals lie, they say their for the poor over and over again, they figure if you here it long enough people will believe it, and it's true when you ask people why they are Democrats they say because their for the poor. That's a laugh!
