The American Dream Is Dead — And Corporations Killed It
The American Dream Is Dead — And Corporations Killed It.
The cost of living is crushing everyday Americans — and people are finally saying what many have known for a while: the system isn’t broken. It’s working exactly as designed. In this video, we’re talking about why so many hardworking Americans feel squeezed, ignored, and left behind while corporations post record profits and billionaires keep getting richer.
Real people are sharing their stories — and what they’re saying is hard to ignore.
We cover:
→ Why the American Dream feels out of reach for most people right now
→ How corporations and billionaires have benefited while everyday costs explode
→ What people across the country are experiencing and saying out loud
If you’ve ever felt like no matter how hard you work, you just can’t get ahead — you’re not alone. And you’re not crazy.

Livable wage is $85k per year. Why go to college if McDonald’s pay that much?

McDonald’s and mall jobs are not supposed to pay livable wages. It’s for young people to get work experience and move on. Those who can’t are the ones complaining.

The biggest problem with the country is that you want someone to save you. You keep depending on government. A government that wants complete control over you. It's everyone fault that the country is the way it is

Who is going to pay for your “livable wage”? If you want CEO’s and businesses to be forced by the government to take less profits… then you are describing Socialism.
I’m not saying socialism is bad, but just say it for what it is. Americans will never vote for a Socialist.

All these people do is talk! More accurately all they do is whine and cry like branded castrated calves! They are like broken animals they will never fight back! The police and the military and the private mercenary contractors would just kill them if they did. These people understand this of course so all they do is talk. Because talking means nothing only action matters! Oh, Elon Musk is a trillionaire now! Yes, he has building magical invisible rocket ships so that he and his rich friends can fly to Mars. You believe that right? It is strange how when Iran builds missiles it only cost them a few million dollars to build tens of thousands of missiles, but when Elon builds his rockets to nowhere, he needs hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer's funds! But you know I am sure things will change for the better any day now!

Slow death of society: starve the people out, reduce employment & wages, over inflate prices on bare essentials required to survive, make healthcare & housing unaffordable, etc.

Even when I was in the first grade I couldn't stand saying the Pledge of Allegiance. I didn't know why even back then I knew something wasn't right.
