    Because everyone is just hoping to someday becoming rich and joining the upper class.

        There are PLENTY of dumb Muricans who make less than 30k a year who think their big break is coming.

        Television and radio have been fueling American “exceptionalism” for so many decades that many DO believe that they will join the ranks of the billionaire class.

          Guess I’m that dumb American. Made between 30 and 50k my whole life and I have a fully paid off house and 4 paid off vehicles on an acre of land in the country. And I’m in my early 40s. Life is good. Being rich and being wealthy are two different things. I consider myself wealthy.
