All arguments The Destroyer
makes regarding user fees are easily rebuked.


The arguments both for and against are quite simplistic, and it doesn't
matter whether they are "easily rebuked" or not. It's not so much a
question of whether you've counted the money correctly, as whether
you've counted all the money in the first place. Two very simple
(non-aviation) examples:

Who benefits from public education and public libraries?

What is the "proper" fee to charge pedestrians when an existing (free)
pedestrian bridge is torn down to make room for an automotive toll
bridge with a pedestrian walkway?
