Yet another example of you taking one statement out of many and basing your
entire argument on it. As Judah wrote in the post you replied to an very
serviceable aircraft can be perchased for much less than $200,000.


As I've pointed out "less than $200,000" is not materially different
from $200 million for much of the American population. A lot of
Americans today can barely pay their rent, thanks to the continuing
evaporation of the middle classes.

And since
the article was about people that have real jobs and own real businesses the
fact that aircraft are available at a price that most with the need could
afford would be a nice addition to what was otherwise a pretty good article.


Very few people own their own businesses. Of those who do, only a
fraction can afford aircraft (and the license to pilot them). The
situation is even worse for people who are simply employees. However,
even the poorest people can vote.
