The American Dream was narrated by banks in the USA as a way of fighting "the Red terra" and to make the populace wear the yolk of a mortgage. People with mortgages generally don't protest or strike.
As American hegemony spun the globe so did the "own your acres".

- etatoby 10y agoThis is ridiculous. Here in Europe we have been taking mortgages to buy property long before the USA was born, in fact since the Renaissance. It certainly is a long-term contract, but nobody really considers it a "yolk." After a number of years your debt is paid and you can keep living in your place without paying anything else. The alternative is to keep paying rent forever, well into retirement. Which one do you think is smarter?
