Actually, I'll call you on that. What you are arguing is NOT what has ever been proposed here. There's plenty of what AOPA considers "GA" going on in those other countries too, because AOPA considers business aviation "GA". What has been proposed here would exempt true "GA" like flight instruction, people out doing their own fun flying, incidental to business, etc. So it kind of depends on what you want to call "GA". Guys flying jets for companies, or bob and jim renting a C172? If it's both, your argument doesn't apply because that's not what's being proposed. If it's the former, then what you are arguing is incorrect because there is definitely GA activity in those countries. If it's the latter, then what you are arguing is again incorrect because it doesn't apply.
