--compassion of any kind is a rare thing in America these days. so if it bothers you, sorry.

I know a lot about being poor too. Both my parents worked at jobs and they only had one car which was breaking down all the time. My Dad often walked through the city to get home--didn't even have bus fare. Many times they had to decide between gas for the car or food. There was no help from any direction. One relative who had money helped them out of a hole one time but it was a rare thing. Dentistry and eyecare were luxuries for the rich. New clothes were not possible--our socks and shoes were full of holes in a not fashionable way.

So I learned about compassion early. I care a lot about people who are struggling financially, especially in this brutal society. And I'll keep on caring, sending money, supporting the food bank, advocating politically, doing what I can til my dying day.

But even if you don't care about the poor you also don't seem to care about the injustice of being physically tracked when you buy the car on the installment plan. It's really un-American if anything is. Mean, controlling, just plain nasty.
