"If you set your mind to it"

OK, so now that I have 2 viewers I'll start the 'perversion'. Just remember I am doing this for you, the viewer... I have found out what is wrong with society. Yes, the underlying problem. It is, quite simply 'The American Dream'. You know how we're all told as kids that we can do&have anything if we just set our minds to it. I myself am sick of this inept view of reality and am saying to you all (the general public) that try as you may, you will likely never amount to much of anything. I don't mean to offend, but it's simple math. We cannot have more than we are able to produce. Each person cannot drive a Lexus and live in a mansion, no matter how long and hard we work at it. It takes a lot of man-hours to produce these objects. Yes, I am aware that we have machines that aid in the building of such objects (and have thus far been quite successful in the harvesting of cheap overseas labor), but the overlying fact still maintains. After all, these machines must be built before they can build... And I am not even suggesting that we include the man hours it takes to get our base-products (lumber starts as a tree & steel starts as impure iron ore).
So what happens to the youth who grow up with this "dream" embedded in their minds? Well, they obviously FAIL (after all, to obtain this dream is impossible). I'm not sure about you, but I don't like to fail. Whats the point of trying if you know there's no chance of success? The smart ones realize this early on and don't even bother to try, while the dumber ones fail time & time again before finally giving up and accepting their worthlessness. We all get lazy because, no matter how ambitious we are, we will never live up to the expectations we have set for ourselves (or those that others have set for us). So we meet at the McDonald's drive-thru or on the couch and complain how society has let us down, while the politicians keep preaching 'the American dream'. After all, they know the only people ambitious enough to get off the couch to go vote are those who haven't yet realized the impossibility of actually obtaining that which they are telling us we can obtain. Thus, the dream lives on. And so it continues....
