Since this is an RV forum we probably all have campers of some sort and we share a common interest, but really, should all those millions of people who don't use park service campgrounds be subsidizing our vacation.
Should the people who never get to visit a national park have to pay for an interpretive ranger to tell us what kind of fish are in the river?
How about boat ramps? Shouldn't the folks who use boats pay for them?
Senior passes...Do the taxpayers owe me anything just because I managed to live this long?
Someone mentioned they would rather pay less at the government campground than stay at the KOA down the road. How about that KOA? Shouldn't they be able to operate without competing with taxpayer funded parks charging less than operational cost. What if the government ran hardware stores and gas stations ?
