"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal"

I guess this sounds good, but is only true until you make enough money to be treated better.
I find it bothersome the trend in being able to buy premium services in order to gain preferrential treatment. I just hear a news report that the Atl. airport is going to allow passengers to pay for a service that allows them to bypass the security checkpoints.
Several parks like Disney, and Six FLags allow for elite service that you can pay to go straight to the head of the line.
Several ticket boxes allow you to pay for a service that gives you the ability to have first pick on the best tickets without waiting for public release.
I am sure there are dozens more examples, this is just what comes to mind.
I guess its just the fact that I cannot afford such premium services that I find it chapping my rear a bit. If we are to believe such a noble proposition that we are all indeed equals regardless of station in life and financial success, then shouldn't everyone find themselves in the same sweaty cue line at Six Flags? Just as an example of course....but ya know, if you can afford to ride home in a Bentley, then good for you. As far as I am concerned I would rather put my remaining good foot straight in someones butt for paying to cut in line in front of me, like they are something special above waiting their turn like everyone else.
