Good question Charles - as usual.  Um, my take? In the form of a rhetorical 
question, how many times could Bill Gates cut his salary/wealth in half 
before it affects his daily living?  Or some rock star or some hollywood 
nitwit or sports figure?  How many times could I suffer the halfer before it 
affected my life style?  OHhhhhh about none.  So there HAS to be a few 
bloated people, perhaps congress people, who CAN afford such a car - after 
all - - - don't THEY know wants best for the hoi poli?
