The cost of flying might be going up, but this time it's not the airlines raising prices.
The Obama administration has proposed raising the taxes on air travel by about $14 per flight, a move airlines strongly oppose.
Higher taxes are needed to help reduce the deficit, pay for improvements at the nation's airports and add thousands of new immigration and customs officers to reduce wait times to process foreign visitors, the administration says.

Yes, it won’t be dimes. Nothing was said about larger denominations than 10¢.
he lies.....a lot
The Fed already collects $10 billion from ticket taxes and landing fees.
Great idea, tax our (Americans) domestic flights to reduce waiting times to process foreign visitors. but....How about just taxing them to pay for it??
Notice Obama didnt propose any of these taxes BEFORE the ELECTION?
And dont worry, Rubio assures us that those illegals ‘fines’ will pay for their processing and investigation, and they will pay taxes too.
Not to mention aviation fuel taxes
He promised he wouldn’t raise taxes on anyone who wasn’t rich, under $250k, I think was his limit.
“Not One Dime” means not one dime will be left untaxed.
LLS
Last year the only thing he proposed was more free stuff. Now its taxes.
But the elections over, it worked.
I double dog dare the airlines to stop all flights for just one day to bring ttention to another rape “project” by this administration. I’m thinking the press MIGHT have to report on the reason why they stopped.

Bull Obama.
They can shove their phony logic up their collective smelly Obamas, put a cork there, and then jog until they die.
That is the reason. More troops for Obama's Army.
For every dollar you give the Government in Taxes, they spend ten. So to reduce the Federal Deficit I propose abolishing the IRS.
I think his 250k was 250 Kroners. At todays market 250 Kroners is worth 43 bucks.
I hate improvements and less wait time.
