That's fair. Brainwashed is probably an overly emotional label for what is actually a great idea that has deviated from it's original intent.
The American Spirit (for lack of a better term) is at odds with the economic and political structure of current-day America. We are led to believe (for good reasons) that we control our fate, but the infrastructure no longer supports it in a way that makes it available to every American.

It would be cool if some similar opportunity was available today. 1976 was not that long ago. [1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homestead_Acts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homestead_Acts
