An association does not take all my money, and then give me back what they want. I pay a due to an association. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but ALPA members pay directly to ALPA, not to their "local".
ATA is an association of airlines. They pay a due to be a member. The US is a member of the UN and NATO. All our tax money doesn't go to these entities and then "reimbursed" to the US.
