You have still missed my point. The American dream was an effective, real thing for a long period of time. Most Americans today are descendants of poor immigrants that worked hard and gave their children a better quality of life. This wasn’t “a lottery” and your characterization of it as such is both historically misinformed and just ideological in nature.
As I said, the issue is that this hard work no longer results in progress. The system has become broken. This is easily observable via a bevy of statistical measures like inequality and college costs.
- ClumsyPilot 5y agoI think you missed his point - the world has changed, its more complex, you cant keep applying strategy of 1900's and expect it to work.
- ceilingcorner 5y ago…but we aren’t still applying the strategy of 1900s. That’s the entire point of my posts.
- ClumsyPilot 5y agoYeah the cireent system is broken no matter what you are after
- mbrodersen 5y agoYou are not getting his point. You are taking about what was. He is talking about what aught to be.
