Re: Reconciling the American Dream with the Least Among Us
Don't worry, I realize I'm privileged and there's so many worse places I could live.
I just feel that it's getting harder and harder for people to even get what they need anymore let alone rise in the social ladder or whatever.
I feel there are opportunities for success but those opportunities aren't equal and in fact in both our countries it is substantially more difficult for people not born into much to make much of themselves. This was not the case in the 50s/60s, etc but back then we had unions and most of our jobs were still here.
In closing, it's becoming nearly impossible to reconcile any form of the American Dream with people born into poor families.
