Waiting in Line

Technology renders most of the lines we now wait in, invisible. But take a journey across America and you will see a lot of people paying their way to the front of the line. Is this idea of the priority cue though, that one can pay a fee to jump the line, consistent with American values like fairness, opportunity, and equal access? Maybe so. There is another American value, the freedom to choose. If you can't afford the priority cue, are you still in line for the American dream? Please continue waiting.
