This is exactly why Socialism is anti-American. The super stupid simplified version that anyone can understand. The American Dream is a national ethos of the United States, a set of ideals in which freedom includes the opportunity for prosperity and success, and an upward social mobility achieved through hard work. Socialism-1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods 2 a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state 3 : a stage of society in theory transitional between and and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done. Therefore, socialism is destroying the American Dream. One of the ideals that made this country so great. |
Does the American dream mean so much anymore? People are lucky to keep their jobs, yet alone become wealthy nowadays

It is dissapointing that there isn't more mobility, but still reassuring that there isn't less. The only difference is that the ladder is larger (greater inequality.) So it's less likely to go from the bottom to the top of the ladder, BUT it's just as easy as it was before to make each step.
