I believe that this is the first time that I have seen the abolition of VFR flight and uncontrolled airspace suggested. In the name of safety, of course.

Notwithstanding the breathtaking arrogance of the mindset that would come up with such an idea, the "happenings" referred to usually occur in the vicinity of terminal airspace, where traffic management and separation is provided by AD ATC. Why does that mean that GA should pay en-route charges?

You have still to make reasoned case as to why an entity, i.e an airline, having aquired exclusive rights to a valuable resource at no cost, i.e. airspace, can expect those who do not require such an environment, i.e general aviation, to pay for its management, i.e en-route ATC.
