We're paying for it now (including an aviation fund surplus) so I guess your point is that we should pay for it twice. That would be a poor guess. But since you care to guess my views on the subject, I'll take a crack at yours. You apparently support McCain. McCain supports user fees. So I guess your point is that we should pay for it twice. Furthermore, your attempts at twisting your political views towards the subject of aviation are truly pathetic. McCain heavily supports user fees, period. His record and statements are quite clear on the subject. McCain heavily supports user fees, period. As far as taxes in general goes, NOT paying taxes is more crippling. Almost 8 years of failed supply-side, borrow-and-spend policies have without question crippled this nation. Oh, I should have known you're a liberal with a limited knowledge of economics. -Robert, MBA What's more conservative than balancing the budget? I should have known you're a fake conservative with a limited knowledge of economics, regardless of whatever unverifiable credentials you care to flaunt. |

You really need to educate yourself on the subject of GA funding. If you did you would realize that GA pays more in tax than we get from the system. Those that say we are not don't realize that a Cessna uses less services than a 747. In anycase, fuel tax is easier and cheaper to collect than reading credit card numbers over the air. Not sure if you are actually interested in facts though, its not clear from your post. But since you care to guess my views on the subject, I'll take a crack at yours. *You apparently support McCain. *McCain supports user fees. *So I guess your point is that we should pay for it twice. I don't recall saying that. I'm voting for John Galt. -Robert |

First, Obama said no such thing. Next, SS can't possibly be "gone" because you will always have people paying into the system. The only thing that has a potential to be "gone" is the SS trust fund, which was a bad idea given to us by Reagan in the first place. Even if the SS trust fund is "gone", FICA will still cover at least 75% of SS payouts, even if all the doom-and-gloom predictions about SS come true decades from now. |

I guess your reading comprehension skills aren't all that great. Obama proposes raising the SS maximum income level, which is currently $102,000 which affects less than 5% of the population. The payroll tax rate would remain the same. And you claim to be an economic expert? I also see you didn't even address the rest of your ignorance and snipped it out. Good show. |
