The American Dream was always a lie that was never meant to actually last, only to entice the population to tie their interests with that of business in the systemic breakdown of community.

"You don't need community! You can be an independent family that survives only by the sweat of your own brow! We (owning class businesses) will 'provide' all you need! Just work for us to make money so you can buy back the very things that you and your community labor to produce in the first place! Pay no mind to the fact the system fundamentally requires constant inflation of prices plus the suppression of wages in order to raise profit margins year-over-year so we keep the investors (the owning-class, again) happy!"
