on NBAA this part of the article explains why .
. The business jet lobby group, the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), pulls out all the stops to prevent its members from facing those fees in the United States because they currently pay only a very small fuel tax that covers about 10% of the cost of the air traffic control services they receive. As an Aug. 10 video editorial from The New York Timesexplained, whenever an airline passenger pays the ticket tax (which is the FAA’s primary revenue source), part of that tax is used to cross-subsidize business jets.
You can add AOPA lobby in there and indeed it will be difficult to move this in the current administration , But they won't be in power for ever . Once people are prevented to travel freely around the country ,lobbies power will move and policies may change. Who would have bet a year ago to see the current New York mayor getting elected ?
