How are they "subsidizing" your vacations? That's one less dollar you're spending at the restaurants they work at or at the other businesses that employ them. So they're subsidizing the airport because the more you pay at the airport, the less you spend in the city. I'd rather spend that money in the local businesses than give the Port Authority another dollar they can squander.

In reality people don't visit a city and spend a precise, calculated number of dollars.


$1 towards government services is still a $1 of non-subsidy not being collected somewhere else.

Realistically speaking, who is making leisure or business trips where a few dollars is a major concern?
