Question Departure Tax? Just another Scam?

Keep paying departure taxes. I asked a reservations agent one time to break down the taxes to me. Does not make any sense. From my understanding, it is Congress who approves taxes for the aiports (in the US). Also, (in the US) don't airports collect taxes through city sales taxes? If so, wouldn't taxing passengers then by another illegal tax? Could someone explain all of this. I think the departure taxes, even on regular passengers is a scam.
