> Since my 11th grade English class was pretty much based on the American dream, reading such books as The Great Gatsby and Death of a Salesman. I think it is the idea that if you work hard enough, you can achieve whatever you want in America.

If every hard working guy I knew could achieve his dreams there would be a lot of millionaires running around.

Fact is you won’t be able to achieve your dreams 95% of the time working for any sort of company no matter how hard you work. In this day and age you’ll just be glad to retire without being laid off.

People who achieve the American dream work for themselves. Why? Because they don’t have companys holding them down. The only thing against them, is the goverment and lobby groups which is how companies make sure you’re not a threat even if you’re not working for them.

If you’re not with them, you’re against them.
