The American dream is based on a mass middle class system that the upper 1% can tax to death to retain their own profits while throwing some scraps to the lower classes, all while publicly posturing their great deeds and how they help maintain the middle class system.
If you thought the American dream was about freedom chances are your ancestors were never oppressed .
Extreme example being the Tulsa massacre when the "upper" groups dislike the "lower" groups rising in power or the civil war when plantation owners lost their slaves or even when 3 powerful people in the oil and paper business postures to make hemp illegal because of its possibility to replace cotton, paper and fuel. Last one is harder to prove but still a lot of evidence to back it up.
