Hi again Troll ..


Then next time you go on vacation go catch your flight out of a private
airport. Or the next time you order some crap by mail order tell UPS or
Fedex or whoever that you will only accept your package if it was flown in
to a private airport. Or when you need to ask for the kindness of a angel
flight pilot tell them you only want to go to a private airport..

P.S.
I do realize that you only post your crap to get a reaction from real
pilots and aircraft owners...
Why don't you go bug the boaters for a while..


Troll? Me? Hi again? Have we met before?

Computer software development. Dang, I picked the wrong industry to work
in!

Are there any subsidies or tax breaks specific to the restaurant industry
or any of the "hospitaility" industries like hotels, etc.?



There are R&D tax breaks that some companies could receive for SW
development.


And there are several programs at the local, state and federal level to
promote tourism that helps out the hospitality industry.

this is true. all rail service in US receives operating subsidies.

truckers don't: ask an independent or a truck company how much they pay
in taxes, tolls, etc. It is mucho dinero. They pay their own way,
unlike GA (and Amtrak).

How did you determine that GA does not pay it's own way?

Do they pay enough to completely pay for every road and highway they use? I
think not. How much longer do you think the roads would last if nothing by
5000 lbs cars and light truck were the only things driving on them.

But I'm not bitching about the investment made with tax dollars because we
all benefit from it. Just like we all benefit from airport spending.

Compare the amount paid in taxes, tolls, etc by truckers to the amount paid
in taxes, tolls, etc by automobiles.

Compare the maintenance budgets of the New York parkways (where no trucks
are permitted) to the maintenance budgets of the rest of the New York
highway system.

I don't think you'll feel the trucks are paying their own way anymore.

They apparently pay a lot in federal taxes. That covers federal
highways.
But state and local non-highway roads get paid by lots of other taxes,
and the trucks roll along on those. I'm not sure how much, etc. But
local roads are not supported by the wheels that roll on them. They
are paid by property and other taxes, such that those who ride bicycles
pay the same local road support as the guys in SUVs.
