You are so busy delivering Econ 101 sermons with your stupid apartment house analogies to cover the fact you don't know a damned thing about RR land grants, which ceased to exist 100 years ago, and now trying to make them current and relevant.Yes, the land was worthless. It was taken from the Indians and sold to the railroads. You don't know your subject matter. THERE WAS NO SUBSIDY BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT SHELLED OUT NO MONEY TO START WITH. Tax-free airports is an implicit subsidy. That land would be ratable and pay a lot of property taxes with buildings on it. If airports paid property taxes, they would nail the airlines for it. |
