As usual, you attempt to obfuscate the issue by declaring it a 'tax issue', when in reality it's nothing of the sort.
As usual you try to obfuscate the issue by playing the semantics card. It may not be a tax in name, but it is an income stream for the government that the politicians don't have to worry about paying a price for. Why raise taxes to cover the port authority (risking a citizen backlash and being voted out)when you can jack up the price of a service for a captive audience and force out competitors at what is essentially gunpoint.

Re: YES!!

An income stream for government is not a tax. Tax is something that everyone pays and gets equal access to(police, fire, EMS, nice roads, water treatment and the such). An income stream is payed for by people that use the service, if you dont use it, you dont have to pay for it.
