Correct. They want to just take other peoples assets and keep them.

I've worked hard to get a degree, develop a career, and have a comfortable lifestyle (that fortunately includes a plane). However, I also recognize that, due to the fact I grew up in a poor family in a poor town, you all paid for half my college education. (I paid the other half.) Thank you! That "Robin hood Government" you speak of took a small piece of your hard earned money and invested it in me. Guess what? I paid more in taxes last year than I received in 4 years of financial aid. Sounds like a good investment to me. What did you get for your money? A very productive member of society who recognizes that, thanks to a government that believes that an educated populous is critical, I am able to visit a doctor when I need one. And get a plumber when I need one. DO you think that the oft-touted "Free Market Economy" will generate all of the necessary services we all need and use? Not likely. Only the ones that are profitable. Think of that the next time you visit a government educated doctor. Or the next time you kid goes to a government funded school. Or the factory in your town is kept from dumping toxic waste in your backyard because a government funded EPA official keeps them from doing it. I realize that there is certainly waste in government, but let's keep the whole picture in mind. Wow, a bit of calm, rational sense. Thank you. |

He needs a few grass runways, and a good map and compass! :-) Matt Well, although that may be true for you, there are lots of Cessna 182's that make a lot of instrument approaches at airports with control towers. Or, even instrument approaches at airports without control towers; all supported by center equipment, controllers, FAA approach designers, expensive flight inspections, etc., etc. |

![]() Well, although that may be true for you, there are lots of Cessna 182's that make a lot of instrument approaches at airports with control towers. And use all the runway, and land so hard that anything less than reinforced concrete wouldn't do, and hold the centerline so poorly that a 150 foot wide runway is barely sufficient. Did you know that truckers pay an average of $15,000* in highway taxes? What do you pay for your car tax? And bicycles ride free (except on highways). Shouldn't bicycles pay $15,000 in taxes to be fair? Jose * From a bumper sticker. I made the number up because I can't remember the real one, which is five figures in any case. -- (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |
