Is the American Dream on its last leg?

The American Dream is a three-leg stool.

One leg represents the land we stole from the native Amerindians, another stands for the black slave labor that jump-started America’s greatness, and the third leg represents all the hypocrisy that placated these two deeds.

Today, neither land nor labor are quite as cheap as they once were, and what’s left is our hollow supply of hypocrisy for the rest of the world to see.

No wonder then, that the once iconic “American Dream” is just precariously standing as the shadow of its former self.
