So Delta is growing. It's about to become a bigger airline. Swell.

It loses money every year. The whole American airline industry would collapse without tax subsidies - we're all paying, every day, for flights we don't take. And now I'm paying taxes, and Delta is using my money to eliminate competition - how wonderful.

It's time to wipe the slate clean on American transportation and start over. Build a system that pays for itself.
