What is your deal man? Every thread where there is anything about user fees you are all about it. If you are so gung ho on it, by all means foot the bill for the rest of us. But I for one and absolutely disgusted at the way these fees have been proposed and how to get the money out of the small guy. Its the same frame of mind walmart is acting on now, to put the small guy out. So yeah they pass one, then wheres the line drawn....Frankly, I think you need to back off with all your pro user fee statements bc there is no way user fees could do anything positive for GA or for the airlines for that matter....

Dude are you serious? I do its called $4 + a gallon for gas...I agree with paying a little something, and I mean a little, but i am fed up with them trying to get us from every angle. And the skewed comments and thought process that you go through to come up with your crooked opinions put you on the same level as those knuckle heads proposing this nonsense.........

Ha, really?! I did a 1.5 hour check out in a 172 the other day. That cost me about $195. That was hardly "something for nothing".

GA qua hobby costs the taxpayers nothing. All I need is a grass strip to land and a box of air to do my dance.

GA qua transportation from terminal to terminal costs something, but all transit systems are subsidized by the government. Why not the GA transportation system?
 
Even if you aren't in GA very much I don't see how you can be for it, UNLESS you don't know the entire story. Velo' reminds me of guys that hear one thing then makes up their minds when there are tons of facts behind the scenes.
I wouldn't even entertain his user fee posts!!!!

Man, I would have thought paying the tolls to commute between home and work every day would get expensive. How's that working out.

Me? I don't pay a dang thing to use the roads between here and there. Reciprocally, you disgust me. :D
