It's fair.

The Soviet Union bought the film version of the Grapes of Wrath to show to their people the evils of capitalism and had to pull the movie from theatres when ordinary Russians realised that even the supposedly poorest starving Americans still all had cars.

Except that's not accurate. I know a lot of people who are always badgering their work collegues to get rides to and from work because they cant afford a car and a lot of other people who are forced to sacrifice their standard of living to keep a car on the road they can really not afford because much of the united states has no public transport at all.
