Hey, guess what would help the average American with being able to afford something that is expensive?
A job that pays a living wage!
I am reminded of when the great offshoring started and everyone was looking down on poorer folks for shopping at Walmart because it was filled with cheap junk and they should know better than to buy that stuff(when in reality it's all they could afford since their good job was gone...).
It's all relative, though. If those same things were inexpensive, one could earn a lower wage and still afford them.
