Default the american dream..

the right wing says that america is so special...if you work hard,
the rich will reward you by allowing you to join them

bull****.

http://www.tnr.com/blogs/jonathan-chait

america is the LEAST socially mobile country, outside of the UK, of
the 9 examined, the MOST being 'socialist' denmark

the right wing simply believes all this bull**** about how wonderful
the rich are; how they reward hard work. how only america is special
in rewarding hard work

all of this is wrong.

I have no problem with people believing whatever they want. It's when they
try to impose their beliefs on me, beliefs that are unsupported by facts,
that there's a problem.

Absolutely right about that.

Speaking to Mr. Puharic's point however, it is important to not
confuse social mobility and financial mobility. Just because you win
the lottery, it doesn't guarantee that you'll be invited to join the
country club. And in addition to working hard, you also need to work
smart.
