"It costs us more to have public employees operate and maintain the Parks..."

How so, I'd like to hear your opinion. The way I see it is we pay taxes, liscenses, entrance fees (on some parks), concessions (on some parks), and I'm sure other ways I'm not thinking of right now. When the parks become privatized, all that money is cut from the budget. The company that now owns the company must not only charge us (sportsmen) more for the "upkeep" of these parks, but also to make a living. And because not all people in the nation use these parks, the price will be raised to compensate for the people that use the parks.

Am I far off?
