you guys are adding to it.
the american dream is a dream, and ideal, something to strive for. as with all things, it can be used to uplift or it an eb used (by callous assholes) to denigrate and ignore those suffering.
that is a whole other issue.
to say that, if you work hard enough you can achieve some measure of success, is not the same as saying those who have not gotten the "success" must be lazy fucks who do not work hard.
that is faulty logic, and an old rhetorical trick.
