On top of this fuel is about $7.50 a gallon. all the tax raised on the
fuel goes into the general fund and pays for defense, welfare, roads,
education etc. None of it makes it way back to GA.

That's sad.

To what do you attribute this terrible situation? Do the politicians in
your country believe that airline pilots are hatched full-grown? Do they
really think it's safe to discourage using ATC? Where are future pilots
going to come from?

Why do I think you're going to answer "From America?"
