Boosting with hopes that EVERY American Citizen in the Fediverse sees it.

Also: Poor Americans held on to the American Dream, thinking that though their life was hard at the moment, they were paying their dues, and that their patience and diligent efforts would be rewarded with money and power, and that they would attain what their bosses had. And held on to the Golden Rule, being good underlings to the rich, who played by the Goldman Rule ( those with the gold make the rules ), and got rich through generational wealth and exploitation.

@SmudgeTheInsultCat The lie that Americans have been buying into since the country was founded is the same one that the National Lottery has touted for the last few decades "It could be you" and so in case that one chance in a million come to you you shouldn't want to allow the rich to be taxed

The irony of course is that the very rich wouldn't miss the tax and the poor would benefit but

@SmudgeTheInsultCat The "Rags to riches" and "land of opportunity" propaganda works just fine.

Everyone STILL thinks they can become one of them just by enough hard work.

That's at least what it looks like from the outside.
