The city could save even more money by not subsidizing roads. After all,
most of the automobiles on the roads are not even being used for business
purposes. Why should the city pay for roads being used only by a bunch of
hobbyists? The city needs that money for police and fire services. It should
stop paying for roads and jeopardizing public safety with this huge waste of
money.

The city should also stop subsidizing newspapers by providing police and
fire protection, utilities, and other services to them. Few intelligent
people read these works of fiction anyway. Why should taxpayers jeopardize
public safety in order to cater to a bunch of spoiled, whining hobbyists?

Perhaps if everyone at your airport wore badges that say "I use the airport,
and if the aiport is closed I will have to move away" so that every merchant
in town saw just how much their businesses are dependent on people who use
the airport, then maybe the newspaper might lose some advertising revenue.
Another approach might be, "The newspaper wants to close my business now. Is
yours next?"
