DO NOT ARCHIVE
Talking about "fair share", here is some unverified data:
Salary of retired US Presidents .............$450,000 FOR LIFE
Salary of House/Senate members ..........$174,000 FOR LIFE
Salary of Speaker of the House .............$223,500 FOR LIFE
Salary of Majority/Minority Leaders .....$193,400 FOR LIFE
Etc., etc.
Average salary of a soldier DEPLOYED IN AFGHANISTAN - $38,000
Average income for seniors on SOCIAL SECURITY - $12,000
Where should one start the cuts in this "challenging budget environment"?

Subject: Petition Response: Why We Need Aviation User Fees
To: dave.saylor.aircrafters(at)gmail.com
Why We Need Aviation User Fees
By Dana Hyde, Associate Director for General Government Programs,
Office of Management and Budget
Thank you for signing the petition "Take Aviation User Fees Off the
Table." We appreciate your participation in the We the People platform
on WhiteHouse.gov and your concerns about user fees in a challenging
economy.
In a challenging budget environment, the Obama Administration believes
it’s essential that those who benefit from our world-class aviation
system help pay for its ongoing operation. And we want to ensure that
everyone is paying their fair share. For example, under current law, a
large commercial aircraft flying from Los Angeles to San Francisco
pays between twenty-one and thirty-three times the fuel taxes paid by
a corporate jet flying the same route and using the same FAA air
traffic services. This is why the Administration proposed to establish
a new surcharge for air traffic services.
The proposed $100 per flight fee would generate an estimated $11
billion over 10 years, reducing the deficit and more equitably sharing
the cost of air traffic services across the aviation user community.
All piston aircraft, military aircraft, public aircraft, air
ambulances, aircraft operating outside of controlled airspace, and
Canada-to-Canada flights would be exempted.
We appreciate your petition's acknowledgment that there needs to be an
increased user contribution to aviation system funding in the current
fiscal climate, and we recognize that some would prefer to raise the
tax rate on aviation fuel. At the same time, we have concluded that a
$100 per flight user fee is an equitable way for those who benefit to
bear the cost of this essential service.
As we work to get our Nation back on a sustainable fiscal path, the
Administration is making tough choices across the Federal budget and
asking everyone to do their fair share. We recognize these shared
sacrifices are not easy, but together with investments in our economic
growth and job creation, they will make us stronger and more
competitive for the future. We look forward to working collaboratively
with the Congress and the aviation stakeholder community on this
issue, and thank you again for your constructive input.
