I could own 2 color TVs off of one or 2 paychecks and I'm paid slightly a dollar above NYS minimum wage, though that probably proves your point more than anything that being poor in America still offers you a luxury not offered in other parts of the world (which I agree with. I don't take my circumstance for granted, or maybe I do, but I sure would not like to). I don't consider 2 color TVs a luxury like I would a car, and I wonder still how easy it is for all but the poorest countrys in the world to own a color TV in comparison. But in any case, I barely watch mine.
