Nothing confusing about all this is there?


No not really. It has worked for YEARS. It allows the airlines to
pass on a cost directly to their passengers without a whole lot of
trouble because it is a /pax tax.


It is if you're not used to it.


Well it has been there for years so the only folks that aren't used to it
are those that don't fly on airlines in the USA.



If you think that is confusing take a look at the plans for GA user
fees and try to imagine how that tax would be collected.



If the government could collect the taxes they have now, they wouldn't
need to have more
