![]() "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:Knz9e.4504$c24.1791@attbi_s72... 'These people are dunderheads for over taxing GA' is no longer the starting point for a fun discussion ...bang. There goes the neighborhood. Thanks, Mont, but -- as you may have noticed -- there are very few topics which *don't* offend Duniho and "Fry". I dare say, it's hard to recall the last "fun" discussion that included either of them. It's apparently in their makeup to be in a permanent state of politically correct bluster. I mean, my gosh -- when we can't even bash someone for charging $7.80 (it's gone up) per gallon for avgas -- on an AVIATION newsgroup! -- there is very little room for discussion with people of their stripe. Jay when you have to pay $7.80 for AVGAS complain and swear to give up flying. Those of us who do have to pay $7.80 are the ones entitled to gripe about it. However I am also aware of where my tax £'s go and frankly I do not worry too much about it. Why, apart from money wasted on some dunderheaded war, most gets put to good use. My parents get good medical treatment and they do not have to pay a cent for it, I put a son through Oxford University for $30,000 (mostly for beer I think) and many other things. I consider flying a hobby, a luxury and indulgence. I do not fly to support my job, British Airways is always the best for that. What I don't do is take flying for granted. Here its a privilege not a right but I have to accept that the majority of the country don't give a damn about it and would not care a jot if it was stopped. So while I can I will pay my $7.80 a gallon and my eurocontrol charges and enjoy it and every so often slip over to the US and enjoy flying for $3 a gallon and be subsidised by your tax $$s. That will taste sweet, knowing that you are subsidising my flying. |
