The local small airport near me was bought by the government to stop it from
being bought by a home builder. Now tell me that it is the free market at
work there. The land is worth millions, but the government wants to keep it
an airport. I guess government spending is not so bad after all!!!

How much did you pay the FAA last year, other than the same
amount that non-flyers in your tax bracket paid?


Considerably more, as the primary source of FAA funding is user taxes
which
are not paid by non-flyers.
