TAXI is a Business Development Company that lends money for taxi medallions.

It's absurd that taxis should be a state sanctioned monopoly. Ultimately, these medallions won't be worth much. But since New York just elected DeBlasio as Mayor, they will probably be valuable for next few years.

If we allowed free markets to operate in our large cities, taxis would be much more affordable, as they are, in many smaller cities.
