Drop its demands for a $100 user fee for general aviation pilots using the ATC system. The system is funded by fuel tax

Created by C.W. on January 21, 2012

The Obama Administration demands that a $100 fee be charged for each and every flight by a general aviation pilot is exceesive, and use of the ATC system by pilots is already funded by a fuel tax. Such a fee is not only exhorbitant, but totally unreasonable. I have watched for years as the average guy trying to be a part of general aviation has suffered due to high fuel costs, and corporate greed as prices for aircraft and fuel kept rising. This is just one more attempt by corporate America to keep everyone, but them from using the skies for transportation. For a Democratic President to espouse such a greedy, an authoritarian fee on the average pilot is downright dispectable. Our rights as citizens are just being trampled on again by a government that doesn't seem to understand.
