Ultimate Inversion

[blahblahblah]

The truth is that this generation will likely not live better than the previous. If / when people realize the American Dream is just that – a dream – then the political divide will become meaningless.

“It’s called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.” – George Carlin

[quote=werewolf34]Interesting discussion.

One thing that continues to amaze me is that the middle class (if they ‘work hard and try’) still believe they will become rich and part of the upper class (big house, nice cars, kids go to good schools).

The truth is that this generation will likely not live better than the previous. If / when people realize the American Dream is just that – a dream – then the political divide will become meaningless. The legislation and bailouts and spending are all combining to keep rich rich and the poor well poor.[/quote]

This is entirely how the Republican party has any power. In reality its ideals benefit very few while they feed off the dreams of the middle class citizenry who hope they one day will.

What should your tax rate be and who should make that decision?[/quote]

You and your fellow citizens and our elected representatives? Democracy…seems like a fairly good model to me.[/quote]

In theory we have a Republic, not a democracy.

I really suggest watching this video:

Listen closely to the last few minutes, I think it speaks to our current situation.
