American Nightmare?

In an article by Evil Genius called "The American Dream" it is addressed how the American dream could be something of the past. And instead it could now be referred to as the American nightmare. The author goes about listing many of the apparent problems the nation is facing, such as the nations embarrassing amount of debt and our joke health care system. Or the unstable stock market and increasing and already high poverty rate. After he is done listing some of problems that foreshadow our nations demise; he tells us to just be happy and live it because looking for a solution is pointless. Due to the fact that the "real" people who run this nation don't want to run it for the better with all of us in mind, but just with their greedy self interests in mind. He says how Politicians are "puppets" which are used to make us feel like we have a voice when we really don't. And believes that the American public is too stupid to realize the truth; as we continue to walk blindly down this forged path provided by the real owners of this country (wealthy business interests) along with crooked politicians.

I agree with Evil Genius when he says finding a solution for all this is practically impossible judging by how things are being run now. And he's right when he says be happy with what you got. Things could be and probably will get much worse. So it seems if you have an average stable life at the moment be damn thankful for it. If you don't then well, I'm just glad I'm not in your position...yet.

As for his question on when this country will wake up and realize the truth. It is answered with the ending quote, "It's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it!" You see it would not be in most Americans interest to wake up and actually witness what America is becoming. Because life is so much better when you don't have to worry about the worlds problems and they don't interfere with your life. Until that one day they come and bite you in the ass, leaving you crippled and slowly bleeding to death, which we all hope never comes if it hasn't already. Therefore you can expect America to stay asleep and continue to dream about that sweet old American dream hoping everything just fixes itself. If America every does wake up though, lets at least hope we don't eat the shit we are fed. But that already seems unlikely. Whether you like him or hate him, if Obama can't help us in the next 4 years, we are seriously in for a rude awakening.
