True, most pilots are not in the top 1%.

However, according to the US Census Bureau data from 2004, the top 5% (the ones termed to be "the rich" by the liberal media, or sometimes "the evil rich") have a net worth of $1M+ (much of it in home equity) and a lower-limit income of $157,176. Many professional pilots fall into this category, and many who don't fall into this category want to fall into this category.

I shall not make a political comment on whether one should vote for one candidate over another, or one party over another. I will simply advise caution when deciding who is representing whom.
