Your right, its not necessarily an indication of poverty. Its only a statistic, but it does illustrate the point that a lot of people in New Orleans needed some way to evacuate the city, and in a government-created welfare-state, where does that responsibility lie? Many people without cars I'm sure found a way out, but many people without cars did not evacuate? I ask why is that. Is it because they have grown dependent on the government to give them everything the
need?
