Good jobs and pensions are still attainable. They're being whittled away at, but they're there. Being rich is not attainable. It's a tall mountain for most Americans, and it always was. Yet, a lot of Americans are dealing with the loss of the former by clinging to a delusional belief in achieving the latter. We can fight for middle class jobs and win. Instead, we choose to fight to be rich, where only 1 in a hundred or so are going to win. In the past 16 years the Republican party has done a number on our grasp of reality.
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
