The "American Dream" is about convincing people to work for low wages, go into massive debt, and buy things you cannot actually afford (property, education, vehicles, things to fill and fix your house, have a huge family), so that the wealthy can get rich of the slave labor and perpetual debt people incur. The true dream is to live within your means, unionize, create consumer protection & privacy laws, fight back and fairly tax the wealthy, corporations and religion.
