Disgusting that our National Parks are being starved financially so the case can be made that private concerns should take them over. We should ALL be proud to pay enough taxes so that they can be properly maintained and remain affordable to ALL Americans to enjoy. It's come to the point that we ALL pay a smaller amount towards their care and some corporation profits off them so that only those who are richer are able to enjoy them.
The way I look at it here in California and the State Park situation, if the money generated went back into the parks, they would be in much better shape than they are. My guess is that the state gov't takes that money and puts it into increasing our social services. At least "corporation profits" understand that they need users to put money in their pockets. And one thing that many people lose sight of, is that those corporations are made up of people, IMHO.
