80% of those who are getting welfare... have both a car and cable tv

In most of America there is no good public transportation to do shopping, go to a doctor or look for work. Old car might be a necessity and not a luxury. About the TV, what an average person will do in a free time? Read books?

MARTA is a fairly relied upon source of transit down here. those without cars can use this, but the 80% still applies here too for some reason. tv is one thing. cable tv is a luxury.
