A little bit about our history of the American dream is that, our founding fathers started a revolutionary idea that each person should be able to pursue their idea and what they want of the pursuit of happiness. So back then they set up a government to defend that right to everyone, it soon became the motivation for young entreprenuers that define , the American free market economy .
In this
article “the american dream is killing us” the author compares this situation to a neighborhood lemonade stand , and how one day one person will come and like the lemonade and more people will come and also like the lemonade and so on. He explains that it gets better , “ not only does the whole neighborhood want a taste of your sweet, citrus squeeze , but the price of lemons just seems to keep getting cheaper.”(Manson,p.2,s.1) by that he means that the American dream is a great thing filled with oppurtunities even if you are just a small neighborhood kid, its something that anyone tht wants it can achieve.
