the american dream
I agree with what George Carlin says that corporations are using the concept of the american dream to force people into submission in some way. I believe this because people work as hard as they can and most of them don't get anywhere with it. People get screwed over everyday especially when it comes to their jobs. Even thought i believe this i think in a way it does bind us all together because it gives us hope for a better life then the one we have now. Even though that hope is false hope. I also think immigrants coming to america with a dream is still intact. Immigrants come here for a better life than the ones they had because of course this is suppose to be the land of the free. that means people are free to make their own choices and do what they want even though that's not always the case.

I like your post! I believe the same thing. For the immigrants coming to this country their American Dream is still very real for them. And in following that dream, they were able to make a better life. It may not be the perfect life that we are made to believe the "dream" is but at least it is better then what they had!
