I think that most airplane owners today would be considered members of the "professional" class, if one wishes to think in terms of class, which is the leftist's wont.
The Dems are setting it up so that the professions are now the evil rich, nothing new here, the "bourgeousie" has always been the enemy of the Left.
Not to mention that some of us remember well when the Dems instituted their luxury tax on new planes, driving Piper out of business, costing plenty of blue collar jobs, but not bothering the "rich" too much. Idiots.
Piper drove itself out of business by becoming complacent and non-innovative. That's why they've lost their market to Diamond, Cirrus and Lancair.
