Ooh I know this one. It's where an annoying guy with a fake smile and a sharp suit sells you a plasticky looking house and a shiny silver Lexus (or perhaps a Hummer*) and your tousled-haired son plays quarterback** for the high school football team and anyone can be President.
*Or perhaps a Ford Super-Doody or a Toyota end-of-year event, but there's definitely a large motor vehicle involved.
**It may be only one of the many positions on a football team, but it's the only one that matters.
I believe that the American dream, as I have phrased it, can work; but the problem is that there is no guarantee of success just because someone works hard.
