There aren't going to be many idle rich among this bunch. For one
thing, the rich aren't going to be interested in flying in a noisy,
cramped, slow machine decorated with cheap, crumbling Royalite. The
idle rich fly in jets decked out in exotic woods and fine upholstery,
with uniformed pilots and a staff to cater to their every whim. Those
of us who DO fly these noisy, cramped, slow machines constantly
scrimp, save, and scrounge to find some way to keep doing it. We
consider it a gross insult to have our scrimping and saving dismissed
as "idle rich."

Frequently, the idle rich go into politics, where they focus on making
life even more difficult for those of us who are trying to scrimp and
save.

That's apart from the question of whether there's really such a group
as "the idle rich." According to one economist's study, inherited
wealth only accounts for 9% of the net worth of the nation's richest
1%. The rest of them made it the old fashioned way, they earned it.
