The American Dream

The "American Dream" is part of the perpetual mythology of the workman ethic for the purpose of motivation that is pushed from on high to the US working class promising them a lifestyle that most in the US cannot attain because it is a moving target, the lowest rung of which is beyond the attainment of the vast majority in the US. It projects for the sake of maintaining the status quo that the disparities people see in wealth and lifestyle are only because those that have more "worked for it" and if they (the have-nots) similarly work they will attain similar riches.

This keeps the peace, lays blame for failure not on the system that is producing deprivation and disparity in wealth and consumption, but on the individual, his wrong decisions, his not having "the right stuff" or not working hard enough. The concentrated US corprate media has made certian that this motivation for perpetually chasing a dream to keep the machinery of capital running, the propaganda of The Great American Celebration is pushed like opium and people have become completely hooked to it- that is why people returning home (India/Pakistan) to work in our countries even when they are paid relatively higher wages and have greater benefits don't feel fulfilled because that motivational opium, the drug of the "dream" has been taken away....

Let us get one thing straight, those working hard in the US are not "living" the American dream, at best they are chasing it and like fools will keep chasing it all their life without attaining it: people with zero net worth and neck deep in daily living debt, cannot live any dream let alone the "American Dream
