Perhaps if the discussion was a modification of the tax in order to ensure it fully covered costs, that would be ok. But that would be only after proper procedure and time for comment, not a demand under duress.
I intend to fly from (and to) the east coast without talking to ATC until I get to OSH, the way I see it my $25 in fuel taxes for that trip is my user fee for OSH ATC.
