J. Stiglitz: The American Dream has become a myth

Exactly August, I am not advocating a free ride, but advoacating that the poor, and less wealthy have a chance.

Like if you want welfare, you have to work community service, and pee in a cup. (I can tell you stories, most already read them from me)

I can ask my rich daddy for trade school or college money. (not me, but alot, the born rich are typically lazier anyways)

But what chance does Tyrone from some craphole project has? A loan he can never pay back (if he even gets it), just feeding the banking beast.

He may want to change, but his lot in life is based on how he was born.

Kinda like what we fought against when we kicked britain out of here. (the new monarch is now the dollar, and it is infallible over all human life )

We may as well be India, with the Caste system, modern paupers have zero shot... This is not the 50s, and American exceptionalism is long long dead.
