Now there's a good example of how to talk to those pesky users, or should I say, customers, since they pay their taxes (e.g. on AVGAS) to the government that franchises the system.
Actually - they don't! The ATC system in this country is not funded one jot by any hypothecation of Avgas duty. It is funded by en-rte IFR charges (part of which pays for LARS) and partially by the direct fees you wil pay to an airport operator in terms of landing and parking fees which go into his budget.

An old chestnut often stated - incorrectly as you can see.
