Since you asked in the RASFW newsgroup, it should be noted FIREFLY is an
example of a subgenre, SF western:
In some peoples eyes, in others (i think the creator as well) it's a
likely extrapolation of how its going to look in the future, there will
be rich people with flying cars and the poor losers who can only a
afford a horse.
Because as we see today, poor people are stuck with horses?
We do if we pay attention, yes.
Again, where should we be paying attention to see this?
To see, I must remind you, poor people who are stuck with *horses*.
Not poor people with donkeys, or poor people with mules, or poor
people with oxen or llamas or water buffalo. Poor people who are
"stuck", with actual horses.

It's actually quite difficult to put enough of a point on a horse
that it will penetrate a poor person and remain embedded.
