Clearly, I read what you wrote perfectly well.  When you say "willing
to give away more of their freedom for it" you imply that giving away
their freedom results in "it" (cars etc.).

I asked if you really believe that.  Do you?

I am sure you are right that "Joe" doesn't care about freedom.  But
the remainder of your sentence takes for granted that unfreedom IS
convenient.

Do you really believe that?

If you meant to say that "Joe" believes that slavery produces
wealth and that unfreedom is convenient and acts on that false 
belief then that is what you should have said.  I would agree with 
that.  But instead you asserted that these falsehoods are true.
