About the American Dream

[Rebkeh]

It occurred to me today that some people still believe it's within reach. Even if they believe it's inaccessible for most, they cling to the belief that it's still accessible for them. Occupy did a pretty good job explaining why they are wrong.

As did George Carlin, quite prophetically too.

Is this another difference between the supporters? It seems like it might be.

1. They still believe in meritocracy.

By "they", I mean upper middle class professionals. The recession didn't hit them as hard, so they are fine with establishment democrats.

2. That's my thought as well nt

3. My test:

Put a want ad on Craigslist for $14/hr. See how many hundreds of apps you get, including a handful with masters degrees.
