Driving with one foot on the accelerator and the other on the brake is likely to get you nowhere but certainly will burn out vital parts of your car. Similarly cutting taxes on the middle class but increasing them on the 'rich' is likely to result in an economic burnout.
I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas people behind me stop and I'm gone.
With guys I revere like Marcus Garvey or Malcolm X their look is less about style than purpose and the expression of beauty. It wasn't just about being noticed you know?
