Yeah, but the American dreams is to have one good idea and milk it for the rest of your natural life, then pass on the rights to your offspring who can milk it...and so on.
That way you can exponentially create useless people.
Yeah, but the American dream does not function to much longer this way. Because more and more people are born in bad situations, they have to take jobs to earn some money to start -- sign such contracts ... and you are enslaved.
Even if you get rid of these ... Than you have a good idea, only to find, that your idea violates dozens of corporate patents ... and your idea is waste.
Thus the dream is just a shadow of the past ... and propaganda for a system that does not hold its promises any more.
That way you can exponentially create useless people.
