That's criminal. 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.
