A new Honda Accord EX-L is priced around $23,000.00. Add to this 8 percent in ad-valorem sales tax, insurance, and another $1,000 in the city for plates and you have yourself one luxury automobile. The problem is that about 50 percent of the people in the USA do not make $9.50/hour.

The median income is $18,000. A decent home is $130,000. If your weekly pay should be your house payment, then a single-income family would be living in a $40,000 home. Houses are not $40,000 or even $80,000 in most cities in America.

Without a resurgence of union wages and union membership and union power americans will have decades of poverty ahead. Perhaps a long, hard, cold winter will get the american people out in the streets to overthrow the capitalist system. Something has to give.

the fact that for many americans a private automobile is a necessity is what is truly worrying here, imo
I don't earn nearly US$9.50/hour, yet I lead a relatively comfortable life with no car
Most likely I'll never afford a big new car like the one you mentioned, but that's really the least of my concerns

Indeed, one of the most ineffective community models ever invent. It just isn't viable anymore and now people are paying the price.

I lived in the country, five miles from the nearest town. If you don't have a car in rural new england, you have few job prospects unless you car pool which I frequently did.

It's still "viable" for the priviledged few in the first world

well, they think they're priviledged to live in suburbia

I think they're victims of bourgeois control
slaves to their automobiles
isolated from their communities

How exactly do you get around easily then?

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

horse and carriage, of course

I'm gonna go out and say that I really like driving my car around. And the fact that I paid under 10k for it is nice too. I got a great deal.

Yes yes but you forgot about the financing option, which is what they really want. Nobody would pay that much if they had cash, but as you point out nobody really does. So they finance the poor sucker who wants a new car to some adjustable rate loan and he or she will end up paying $30,000 (at least) over the course of several years.

Sad but it happens everyday.
