So, I am a criminal for paying my taxes?


No, the politicians are criminals for using that tax money to
artificially lower one company's price in what's supposed to be a
competitive marketplace. The same thing happened in Miami with ATA,
and DFW airport is trying to lure Southwest with a $22 million package.

I don't begrudge the airlines; who would say no to a government
handout, especially when you're trying to get a new company off the
ground? No, I begrudge the politicians who play that game.

I could open a Dunkin Donuts and charge less than all the other stores
in town if I didn't have to pay my rent and personal property tax for a
year. See the parallel?


Tell that to the board of DPA.
