I can not stand that phrase. Just because someone doesn't spend 8 hours in a
factory doesn't mean they don't work. At my airport every single one of the
people that fly or own airplanes there works or did until they retired at
70+ years of age. And even some of those 70+ guys still work everyday.

There really aren't that many idle rich in the US. I live in a town with
quite a bit of oil money dating back to the 1920's. I know of exactly one
adult male that one would consider idle rich. Now, there are a lot of them
that the only time their hands get dirty is when they have to pick up their
golf ball out of the mud but they do work and often way more hours than the
people that work for them.

If you change your question to "So GA is not for the poor then?" I'd have to
agree with you. But there are lots of things that the poor can't afford to
do. As for the middle class as any sane person would describe it then, in
the US, if they want to do it they could probably find a way. Will they have
their own Bonanza, probably not. Could they have a pretty could chance of
owning their own C-150 or Cherokee 140, sure. They might have to not buy the
newest SUV every few years but they could do it.
