<h1>Don't Tax Me Bro!</h1>
<p align="justify">Following the elimination of several taxes on airline tickets   on July 23rd, Spirit's customers began saving up to $50 roundtrip. As a result,   the volume of tickets sold jumped over 22 percent week over week in the first   three days.</p>
<p align="justify">However, Spirit is aware that some policy makers are   considering not only bringing these taxes back but also increasing the Federal   Excise tax on air travelers and airlines and doubling several other governmental   fees. Another proposal under consideration would add a new $35 takeoff tax to   every ticket.</p>
<p align="justify">Spirit calls on airline customers, governmental leaders, policy   makers, taxi drivers, hotel operators, cruise line personnel, restaurant   employees, travel agents, tour operators, and others who would be directly   harmed by an increased tax burden on travelers to join us in our efforts to keep   airline user taxes low.</p>
