Up until the 1970s, there wasn't a user tax for airline tickets. All the construction before that time came from the federal purse. There are people who say the user taxes paid for the airports and runways, but they are wrong. Well, they have since the 1970s, but most of the runways and airport terminals were already built..... <br /> <br />Would it not be nice to have the federal purse pay for the infrastructure of high speed rail before the user fees kick in, just like the airlines? <br /> <br />Also today, United Airlines asked for another $1.8 billion.... Who says the airlines do not have their tin cups out?
