Too many americans think that one day they'll be rich and that things like the tax plan will affect them when it never will, they just become bootlickers for the rich and powerful.

It's really always been an illusion, that "hard work will get you rich". While I do believe that hard work and avoiding running into BAD luck is likely to get people to a place of being at least comfortable... there's just no path to actual wealth that doesn't involve dumb luck or nepotism. It's basically people in the 20th century operating on a 17th century philosophy that was sprinkled into the roots of the nation. I think they'll always believe it. Their entire culture was grown out of that idea.
