The problem with "Skyloon's" "solution" is that those airports in highly populated areas are the link with those in the less-densely-populated areas. The airports are part of a *system* -- not just a bunch of loose parts. Its pretty clear that objectivity goes out the window for many when self interests are concerned.... Sure the airport network is linked. That has nothing, zero, Nada, to do with the appropriate ways of funding the system, and who pays. The Heritage Foundation among others has long argued for user fees based for private activities, which clearly includes GA. I agree with their viewpoint, and oppose governement subsidies for private goods. Now, if states or localities choose to support a GA airport, a local ski area or a shooting range, with taxes, that is fine with me. The airport system is just as important as the Interstate Highway system -- it helps to bind the nation together. The Heritage Foundation (esp. Mr. Poole) is blinded by ideology and ignores the big picture! How about Rural Electrification? postal service to outlying areas? roads? he list goes on. |
