Yep. And you see your "free" ATC services as a wonderful thing.

Um - I think that the administration DOES understand that and sees an extra $2500 per otter load per day as being a wonderful thing..
I think you are full of it. Skydiving is a blip so tiny that I doubt it crossed anyone's radar except those of skydivers and DZOs.
The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Also similar to the TCAS issue of maybe 10 years ago.

It may very well be. But every commuter flight in a Brasilia is also $100 more. That'd be $5-$10 per passenger per flight extra. You know how many of those there are?
No - it didn't seek to target skydiving. It didn't consider it. But considering that it's about raising revenue, don't you think that skydiving ops can be considered a pretty decent stream?
No. It doesn't go anywhere. Because "flights between Los Angeles and San Diego will not cost extra per ticket due to a new tax" aren't going to be popular.
When was the last time a politician or bureacucrat wanted less revenue?

Of course it isn"t "free." And yes, I have never had a problem with government management of commons or interstate commerce. Issue: fuel taxes pay for it.
And what is the issue with this? Why are turbine engines looked upon as a target? Same way as restrictions on mentally ill - because there is a perception and stereotype that turbines are the spoils of the elite. Sure, it actually doesn't work like that (any more than "mentally ill" equals "dangerous") but governance by stigma is how we do things.

So your comment about "Otter load" didn't refer to skydiving. Oh - Kaaaay

perhaps a 'Beaver poop pile', or "Racoon dump" would be clearer

Highly unlikely.
Far more likely and typical of the way this has been played out in a number of attempts in the past, none of the lawmakers considered it for a second and when it's simply brought to their attention they'll say something to the effect of, "Oh, we didn't think of that. Now we understand it wouldn't work. Oops. Never mind."
Until the next guy proposes it.
