Re:  why people who don't use airports shouldn't have to pay for them.


     The people who don't use airports are few and far between.
     Travel is only one function for an airport. Mail and a 
     good deal of freight are shipped through aairports.
     A great number of fringe benefits are provided.
     Local business will die on the vine without an airport,
     opportunities for visiting cultural groups would be
     severly limited.  It is impossible to single out
     one aspect of a service/utility paid for by the general
     public for use by the general public and then say that
     you receive no benefit.

     Who should pay for a state university?
     Just the students or the parents of students?
     Baloney! We all benefit every time the education
     of the general population rises.

     The external benefits of these things are great and
     those who would rather not pay for them can move to
     where they don't exist.

     Want to send your kid to a public school in Florida?
