Countries pay to get the level of well being they want. The payment is taxes. It works like that: Countries want to travel first class and pay huge taxes. Countries that cannot raise enough taxes, travel economic class. There a times given a set of circumstances, countries raise a lot of taxes and the majority of people move from Economic to business, and business to first class. That happened to the US last century. Then taxes revenues diminished. The US tried to keep who was in first class, there, business class was not downgraded and economic class was kept flying and was not be left stranded. Without the taxes the transfer payments from the federal government to states and local governments, there will be general downgrade of the passengers.

As tax revenues dwindle overall well being suffers. Economic class passengers, left stranded protest by creating trouble to raise the government attention to their plight. They are saying, with their protest: we are not going to be the ones who suffer downgrade while there are those still flying first and business class. They should pay more for us to keep flying. This is what is happening in England cities right now. First and business class passengers, there in England, want them to be portrayed as troublemakers. But they are just the ones left stranded due to not enough tax revenue to pay for their standard of living.
