I make good money, but my dad makes 10x as much. He can afford things that I'll be lucky to ever afford. So does the fact taht his quality of life is wayyyy better than mine mean that he's taking advantage of me by giving me business?
Not that different from what I can tell. All the cab drivers have a choice, and driving a taxi is their best opportunity.

From what I know cab drivers work long hours, I can't imiaging they make a killing, in fact I think I recall hearing that they generally work about 6 or 7 hours to pay off their fixed costs like gas and licences, then after than they make profit. Not my idea of fun, but refusing to use cab's won't help them out any.
