I guess the American Dream is different for everyone. You can always find someone who's better or worse off. It stands to reason you can say you have it good or bad depending how to want to look at it. The reason I say the American dream is dead is because people don't have meaning in the world of big business and big money. We would all like to make more money. That goes all the way to the top. If un-named large store could drive smaller store out they would grow. That's the goal and it's gotten very large. You can open a privately owned small business but beware, if you do very well the big guy will buy you out or drive you out. The individual stands no chance of competing with these big, heartless, money, growth, increase profit, people are tools, huge, multi business companies. Peoples life style goes down, business profits and growth must go up. It's the share holders goal. But wait! Where's the person that says what happens to the people/employees? That person is not a person. It's board members, CEOs, CFOs, VPs, etc... The big must grow and increase profit for the share holders to buy their stock and raise the share price. That's where the CEOs, CFOs, VPs money is. Stocks and they want their stock to go up. People are just a tool, a cost number to reduce while increasing productivity. Which company will end up owning everything? It seems as though it will be the most un-ethical. We get less, they get more. There is an answer, a cure for this. The madness can be stopped and big money wouldn't know what hit them. Tune in latter to find out how. It's easy.
