Just wait until they jack up the fuel tax to $0.70 a gallon and then
listen to the complaints! There will be a lot more planes parked on
the ramp and fewer in the air once this tax increase goes through.

If this tax does go through, expect the number of unfilled Angel Flight
missions (failure of a volunteer pilot to accept the flight) to sharply
increase.

Saudi Arabia must have some nice GA fields funded by the "tax" they
impose on us.


Tax??? It's their oil and I suppose in a free market you can charge what you
like - when you use more the price goes up and when you use less the price
goes down. Start using less.

It is the oil companies that are doing the stiffing.
