Why the American dream is one of the biggest lies
When Bush is temporarily propped up on two legs by his people, out of
his natural position on all fours with knuckles resting gently on the
White House carpet, to tell the world that his country’s values and
people are worth fighting for, he omits to mention that he doesn’t
mean poor people or black people. Not only is this huge slice of the
American public kept largely invisible, in case it ruins the image of
the culture which Bush’s administration demands countries in “the axis
of terrorr” adopt, but even when such poverty is exposed to the world
the US elite has little shame in publicly holding these stricken
citizens in contempt.
