In the 40s, the Soviets tried to use Grapes of Wrath as anti American propaganda on their people. It failed because their citizens were impressed that even the poor abused people could afford a car.

That would be like people being impressed the average person has a horse in a desert. Just because you have one doesn't mean it's been taken care of.
