With the references to Slate and quotes from Krugman it's essentially a class warfare rant.

Seems a good summary.

As best I can make out, the odd implication seems to be that the increasing wealth gap causes the cost of general aviation flying to increase. Or some such logic or perverse correlation.

Kind of like pointing out that the rich are getting richer at the same time high definition TVs are getting cheaper - and concluding the increasing wealth gap is responsible for cheaper high tech gear!
