my property tax bill.


Your property taxes aren't supporting the airport.

Then where has the $300 over 15 years on my residential property tax
bill
gone?

I don't know. Graft? I'm going by the information you posted, which
indicated your property taxes aren't supporting the airport. Did you post
bad information?

In the salaries of employees at the airport, all of whom suffer payroll
taxes, use what money is left to purchase items on which there is sales
tax, etc.

It funds operations at the airport like maintaining the surface, necessary
so pilots can land there, tie down, and leave the airport grounds. What
they then do is spend money in the area, mostly on items which suffer a
sales tax.

And so on.

You pay for roads because they've a benefit. Roads cannot be charged their
cost directly (unless you want all roads to be tolled), but the benefits
exist nevertheless. It's therefore a sound investment. Airports, as shown
in the various studies I cited in a previous posting, operate in a similar
indirect fashion.

To ignore indirect payments such as these is to ignore economic reality. Is
that your intent, or are you merely ignorant of how money works? I hope
the latter, as ignorance is something one can correct. A willful avoidance
of facts is dishonesty (and an unwillful avoidance is psychosis).

So take a look at those studies, or not. Learn, or not.

That's not correct. No property tax revenue is used for DPA airport
operating costs.
