The website of the limousine company says they provide a "range of vehicles, from classic limousines to modern sedans and SUVs" and are said to be "committed to providing an upscale experience at an affordable price."

Rashida Tlaib has always railed against income inequality in US

Rashida Tlaib’s recent limousine service spending has caught attention, shining a spotlight on her career. As the first Palestinian-born woman elected to Congress and a leading progressive voice, she has long spoken out against wealth and income inequality in the US.

She has never shied away from calling out CEOs for making "290 times more than their average worker" and has said that "working people are sick and tired of corporate greed."

"It’s disgraceful that corporations continue to rake in record profits by exploiting the labor of their workers," Tlaib wrote.

She added, "I’m proud to re-introduce the Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act with Senator Bernie Sanders to address the massive income and wealth inequality in our nation. It’s time to make the rich pay their fair share."

Tlaib also spoke out strongly when President Donald Trump-backed legislation was passed, calling it "an act of violence against our communities" at a time of extreme income inequality.

"At a time of extreme income and wealth inequality, while 60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, this budget is absolutely devastating for the working families we represent," she said in a statement.

The statement added, "Republicans are literally taking food out of the mouths of hungry kids by cutting billions of dollars in nutrition assistance. And the same lawmakers who claim that we don’t have the money to feed hungry children or make sure people in our communities have the health care they need have no problem voting to send an additional $150 billion to weapons manufacturers and endless war and $170 billion to masked agents terrorizing our communities and illegally disappearing our neighbors for profit."
