[pct-l] PCT fees

We are all good Americans and love to donate to our cause!! Too bad the funds
don't anyways end up where we think there going!!! The trickle down effect
of forest service fees is worse than the United Way! ( which is another joke
as only 13 cents per dollar gets to your neighbors staving kid) Parks and
forest are all of ours as they are public. Soon, the fees will oust most
families with their high cost, which never gets back to the forest or park
anyway other than a token amount. Our Parks are fast becoming only for the
privileged few who can spare the bucks to enter. We ALL own these lands and
have the right to use them as tax paying citizens. User Taxes( or Fees as
some call them) do not belong on public lands. My taxes pay for many things I
never use, but do they return MY tax???? ( No way!) People who use and don't
use the PCT or other public land help pay for it. No user taxes should apply.
If there's a way to suck a buck out of someone, you can bet the government
will be there with it's hand out. ( We have a Guy here in Washington who
keeps coming up with these great initiatives to lower taxes and they always
go though, like I-695. Almost all Dems in office are against them but the
Republicans are for them. ) I-695 passed which knocked car tabs to 30.00 plus
knocked down a few taxes. The Democrats took it to court and had it stuck
down. Almost all our new fees and taxes in this state are the cause of our
tax and spend Democrats. Many of these people think they are doing good deeds
by paying with a happy grin each new fee that comes there way. They are blind
to the fact that they have just been fleeced out of their money with most of
it going to a big general fund. AS LONG AS WE KEEP PAYING THEM, THEY'll KEEP
ADDING THEM.
