I find your post somewhat detuned from reality. For instance, jaywalking is rarely a crime. Also, jaywalking becoming a thing was precisely related to cars becoming federated to the "poor folks with little political power" because in many communities, there is heavy car traffic that was prioritized over walking due to damn near everyone having at least one car.

As of 1925, the number of cars per household in USA was 0.6. (It would later peak in the 1980s at 2.2.) http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Transportation_Deployment_Casebook/History_of_the_Automobile:_Ownership_per_Household_in_U.S.#Data http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Transportation_Deployment_Caseb... Is your hypothesis that the poor folks got cars first?
