We're supposed to be a country of equals. Not one where the well-heeled can buy better public service.

Flying is not a public service. There has never been anything equal about flying.
If the government is offering special access privileges, it is. Next up, reading exams for voter registration to boost literacy.
I also had to pay a fee to the government for my driver’s license to have access to drive and passport to leave the country. Should those also be free?
