A car is a luxury.  There is public transportation to get to work. Car costs money and you must always put money in for gas, repairs and insurance.  Who pays for that if you are poor?
Air conditioning is a luxury - you CAN survive without it.  I barely turn mine on because I can't afford high electricity bills.  If you are poor and have air-conditioning how do you pay the bill?  Is it subsidized? 
A TV is indeed a luxury especially a brand new flat screen TV.  I don't care if it is $10.  That should be going towards the field trip instead.  Sadly most people would buy the TV and send in a note they can't afford the field trip.

Yes, there is public transportation to get to work, except for where and when there isn't.  Which is why, in very many places in the US, if you are a poor person looking for work, you have to have a car. You can't get to the job without a car. If you don't have a car, you can't work. And if your car breaks down, you lose your job.

I think that when you say "poor", you mean "destitute". And you seem to have a lot of ideas about how poor people do things. Where do you get these ideas from?[/quote]
