Woahh… your way ahead. I’m talking about the concept, not the realities. My point is, Carlin basically says that the American dream is bull shit when he says you have to be asleep to see it. Which is contrary to what a lot people think on this forum. Obviously you can’t have 300,000,000 millionaires… but could you have that many people earn $75,000-$100,000 a year, if everyone was a hard worker? I doubt it.
