  • Right. Money is just the consensus of a community to trade more easily. Fractional reserve banking & interest makes the world more valuable as it really is and is a form of folie a deux, meaning a transmitted personality disorder; in this case megalomania and/or dissociation.

  • Americans ignored and laughed at their activists, thinkers, and reformers for decades, who warned them, and tried to mobilize them. Who's laughing now...no one but the evil elites.

  • I need money, thanks

  • Sorry to knock it like this, but the American Dream was always bullshit. You can't take your material possessions with you when you die.. I can think of no reason for the top 1% in this country to both be obsessed with the unethical pursuit and hoarding of their massive wealth. I am an American in my mid-20s facing the very real prospect of not even making it to my father's modest standard of living. That's the American Reality that's been created. Fuck it. RIP George Carlin.

  • Sorry to disapoint you but the American dream not only existed but still exists. I know personally several hard working Americans who've gone from simple lives to wealthy lives because of great opportunities here in the US. Also, isn't it funny that RT attempts once again to belittle america while here on this example of one American dream-YOUTUBE. I guess it's hard to understand for some. How bout Sergei Brin, a young russian immigrant who is half owner/inventor of Google. Hilarious

  • Cattle

    Those who will not use their brains are no better off than those who have no brains, and so this mindless school of jelly-fish, father, mother, son, and daughter, become useful beasts of burden or trainers of the same.

    America is liquidating its undesirables.

  • The American Dream is not about social justice, equal poverty for all with no incentive nor reward to succeed. The American Dream is about the free market. It rewards those who make it with both money and feelings of accomplishment.

    .

    The American Dream is not a welfare state for all. It challenges all to become better to get the things they truly want in life. There will always be poor. Why should we abolish the middle class for the elitist desire to redefine the American Dream?

  • "The American Dream is called a dream because you have to be asleep to believe it." - George Carlin

  • @1XMarksSpot The banksters and the Federal Reserve as "Federal" as Federal Express know Amoricans (Americans + Morons) will do anything to live the American Nightmare.

  • @msungs True that.

  • LOL The dream is nothing but a fantasy. The Americans seem to think that they can just recover and return to prosperity by running on borrowed money. Trillions upon trillions of borrowed money... I guess they are also thinking borrowing costs dont rise, inflation is a myth, and somehow this can be sustained?? LOL wackos, they are in serious trouble with Obama, and the trouble is today, right now, the taxes and weight being placed on their children, what a great country! NOT! Last place i will go

  • This is what happens when you dont protect your middle class.

  • NOW HOLD ON what about Obams change??

  • Americans ignored and laughed at their activists, thinkers, and reformers for decades, who warned them, and tried to mobilize them. Who's laughing now...no one but the evil elites. Given a legacy of liberty handed to them by other generations, knowing nothing about how to maintain that liberty, today's Americans are now being returned to serfdom and slavery. The people get the government and economy they deserve.

  • Born and raised caucasian american says:

    I have a degree in hotel/restaurant management and another (2 year) in culinary arts. I also successfully completed a 3 year apprenticeship and became a certified chef.

    I currently work at a BBQ restaurant cutting meat for $8 hr.........THE AMERICAN DREAM!!! yahoo!

  • @HEYBUDD If a activist had told you decades ago, that you and other Americans need to get hands on in controlling government and corporatons, you'd probably thought they were crazy, radical and out there.

  • The American Dream is no more than the American Bull Shit Act with your nominated president of choice leading the Bill Of Hatred. Good Luck America this year 2011 will put you all so DEEP in the DUMP a Front Loader couldn't get all your over eating asses out. Hey McDonalds you've got them nice and FAT for the KILL...

  • Russian propoganda has gotten to american's heads. Congratulations Russia. You've won

  • The American Dream...is just a dream. Always has been...

  • Hahah more than 1/2 of every dollar we pay in taxes goes right down the toilet in Iraq and Afghanistan.. No wonder America can't even fix its bridges or schools.. Health care? That's too expensive but 10 years of war? Thats ok..

  • The new American Dream is gang stalking. Watch GANG STALKING TV, GANG STALKING SURVIVOR, MONARCH II (PT TWELVE), CELL PHONE STALKING videos on YouTube.

  • victimes of social egineered to feed an agenda to be more than it is...

  • "I cannot just invent a job." Yes you can. Start your own business; oh wait, you rather someone else work to make you a job rather than make your own job; or expect the government to give you, give you, give you.

  • "I can't invent a job" - This speaks of people are in this mess. Most don't understand what a job is. To them it's something "given" to them by someone else.

    A job is simply fulfilling the need of someone else for agreed on wage. Or I do something for you, you give/do something for me, and we are both better of because of the exchange (hence the creation of wealth)

    It's definitely not always easy, but lady, INVENTING a job is exactly what you MUST do.

  • "FORTY-FIVE% / 45% OF EVERY DOLLAR THE UNITED STATES NOW SPENDS IS BORROWED from another "bankrupt nation"! "

    this is straight up - "Nation Killing - the united states!"

  • The American dream today should be to keep liberals and democrats out of power.

  • I really find it sad to see, to me they like school kids looking for there perends. I hope everything will be alright soon.

  • @SamDeRe81...you're about as American as putin

  • 9 ass-bags watched this video

  • OMG, what a load of propaganda. 91% of Americans are still employed and most people are not in foreclosure. Sure it is tough for some but the majority are OK.

  • A bad day in America is a thousand times better than a great one in good ol' Russia.. :>)

  • @PERIZ99 Yeah, cos America has to pay 12 trillion $ on a good day and Russia has to pay half a trillion in their worst day, which is very easy for them considering the amount of currency reserve they are hoarding. Keep dreaming though, I'm sure the Russians are gloating over America's failure by now.

  • @thegreendestiny Hmm...According to your comment. There should be no incentive for anyone to make America their home. You'll find that is not the case..Just google "Russian American" . Wikipedia has some interesting statistics that may just surprise you.

  • @PERIZ99 Russian American = Jew

  • either some country is getting insanely reach or someone made a serious mathematical error

  • Listen to our friend George Carlin people:

    "It's called the American Dream... 'cause you have to be asleep to believe it."

  • recession hell ... we are in a depression and will remain that way for a long time. Like the lady said at the end ... the people allow the government to do this ... we have no one to blame but ourselves.

  • Root cause:

    1. Permitting (let alone encouraging) successful US corporations to move offshore in the 1990's.

    2. Deciding to justify significant need for government and associated taxation described in the piece.

    3. Such a large defense/military budget continuing after 9/11. We were on the verge of recognizing almost zero need to continue spending 6000% of what other nations spend on military.

  • @votingronpaul2008

    On the psychological level the root causes are:

    1) money addiction (single most effective dopamine trigger!!)

    [Olds J, Milner P. (1954). "Positive reinforcement produced by electrical stimulation of septal area and other regions of rat brain". J Comp Physiol Psychol 47 (6): 41927.]

    2) under-diagnosed, tolerated and in Western Civilizations hugely honored antisocial personality disorder (ICD-10 / 3-6% male pop.), which destroys reciprocal altruism.

  • @Tressco Money addiction? Really? As opposed to a "stealing addiction"?

    If you actually understand what money is, then you'd understand people don't want dollar bills.  They want what you can get with the dollar bills. Thus people simply have "wants".

    And that includes all the "good wants" like wanting to help the poor, wanting to take care of the sick. Which money is also used for.

    So how would you procure human help for the good wants? Force them?

  • @sirellyn

    Money, as an universal stimulus, has replaced sex as our key motivation, since prospect of money triggers way more dopamine than prospect of sex. And while someone on coke (quite strong dopamine trigger) may use his extra energy to help people, it’s also possible that a cokehead does harm to society by indulging in criminal/antisocial behavior.

    Money as a tool is as neutral as any weapon. In the wrong hands it might produce devastating effects for millions or billions of lives.

  • @Tressco You haven't exactly answered my question. Money is a byproduct of our evolution, just as farming was. Dollar bills are unnecessary but "money" IS, for anything advanced that we do.

    Money is simply the most commonly accepted form of barter. Even if everyone accepted doing some task for another in exchange for another task by another its still "money"

    You are railing against money when you are angry at human miscommunication that sometimes leads to (often violent) force.

  • @sirellyn

    Right. Money is just the consensus of a community to trade more easily. Fractional reserve banking & interest makes the world more valuable as it really is and is a form of folie a deux, meaning a transmitted personality disorder; in this case megalomania and/or dissociation.

    Without money, seeing somebody's house, filled with 42 TVs, 17 computers, 14 beds, 86 tables, 127 chairs, 416 sets of cutlery and 27 cars in front of it would make the apparent greed/illness public immediately.

  • @Tressco Fraction reserve banking and money are two completely separate concepts. Money is not the end all reason for life either no more than farming would be. A glutton would engorge themself to no end and no satisfaction as easily as someone who fixated on money would do with wealth.

    It doesn't mean food is evil nor money. Concern should be at a critical lack of either. But like blood or water, they have a vital need, but you don't "live" for them. That would be a soulless existence.

  • @Tressco If you hate fractional reserve banking. Good I agree. It's fraud, and it should be a crime. If you think inflation is insidious, I also completely agree.

    But if simply wanted to take from someone who had earned through diligence where others with less would and still have roughly equal opportunity to do so, or force charity. I could not agree with that at all.

  • The 'by the people for the people' government we were taught about in school does not exist. Rigged elections are a 'smoke and mirrors' scam used to keep the populous in line. The time has come to start over. a;; 80 states need to secede from the Union and reform a new Union.

  • Can relate to this too closely! If they believe that unemployment is actually 9.8%, they are the ones who are dreaming!! Who cares if someone gets help with their mortgage! Better to start with those without homes at all! Until this country gets a grip on Reality, it will continue to decline.

  • This is what America has done to millions and millions of Americans who wanted nothing more than to buy a little piece of the American Dream. Now, in the new, upside down America, the American Dream is the American Nightmare. Senseless wars, greed, corrupt criminal banksters, and corporate-controlled government for the past 30 or more years, have finally destroyed America. What's the answer? Convert all assets, if you have any left, to gold and silver and GET OUT!

  • "I feel like I'm looking for jobs that don't exist - anymore". Priceless expression ;-)

  • If you're too stupid to see where the United States is headed and pump out offspring, you're an idiot and I don't want to hear your whining. The United States is dying, your offspring will be slaves paying 75% in taxes. You can't change it, get used to it.

  • @jskaggs2008 this is what our illegal aliens have brought on and deserve. My prayers are with the people who are American in their hearts and have lost everything! I Am still alive!!!

  • @Macksar - Yeah, the dreaming American brain dead are still around.

    Why is Wall Street not investing in your "wonderful" country?

  • @Macksar - the dreaming American crowd of brain dead is still around!

    Why is it that Wall Street isn't investing in your "wonderful" country?

  • Sad but true story.

  • The people interviewed in this video are not necessarily representative of the average American.

  • In this clip, that nutty professor Norman Markowitz says that "America is the richest in history, yet we have the highest number of poor people"

    First, we're the biggest debtor in history, debt is NOT wealth

    Second, our so-called poor people are dying of obesity related diseases, something that has never happened to any group of "poor" people in the history of the planet.

    Some day, our media will vilify & criticize these nation wrecking Marxists whenever they utter this tripe.

  • @dgl1962

    america has never been rich, its all pure bullshit. They live on credit for the most part.

  • @BuySilverCrashJPM Right......So stay the fuck out  : )

  • @dgl1962

    When the average lower middle class Joe in Europe has more personal savings than Americans and can afford to travel the world, I don't think many Americans can do that.

    Oh, and Europeans outproduce the USA in half the time.

    Unemployment here in the Netherlands is 4.8 percent and I don't know of anyone losing their home or company going bankrupt.

    Of course that is not reported in the USA.

  • @BuySilverCrashJPM I agree with you.

    Our leaders have been following the short-sighted, limited thinking average American voter to give them something for nothing.

    Our time as a superpower is almost up and I say good!, we have been a menace to the world and have bullied them for too long.

  • @dgl1962 - It is always niece to see you folks looking for food in dustbins.

  • @gmmonko Why is that nice?

  • The American Dream = slaving away to make jews wealthy beyond THEIR wildest dreams. I HATE THE BASTARD JEWS.

  • @Vox863 Oh I'm sorry I meant to say jewish bastards, sons of whores, from a 1000 whores before them

  • @DeeAnn2010b Are you for real? Obama has done NOTHING but continue to forward the FEDs agenda just like bush. The FED runs this country not Obama or any other puppet in office. You can join us in the real world anytime but it seems you may be so brainwashed that you are beyond help. You must be over 40? Silly Republicrat...both sides have the same agenda its just another method of keeping the people divided and its clearly effective, just your hate towards "republiKKKlans".

  • DEBATING + TALKING = HUMAN INACTIVITY

  • Myths and Lies:

    You heard that you lost your job because of China. It's lie. It's not true. You know why you lost your job or can't find a job ? Bankers won't let you loan for small business or failing school won't provide you training. You trusted the government because you think government will help you. It's lie..

    They took bag of taxpayer's dollar and bankrupt America!!

  • Myths and Lies:

    You heard you teacher saying that world is overpopulated. Yeah right. Overpopulation is extreme lie. you check out google map. you see lots of empty lands on midwest, canada, russia, etc.

  • @NouCrazyBitches great post! People don't think for themselves. This silly overpopulation lie can easily and quickly be dispelled with simply traveling throughout the U.S., or even simpler with google earth!

  • the dream has changed long long time ago...go to war is the new dream. winning it is an illusion. haha ;[ keep wasting the money in israel. damn it.

  • " you can't invent a job" oh yes you can... THAT is the American dream!

  • This just in: Wikileaks just released a document saying," Justin Bieber is Gay."

  • the military industrial complex stole it!

  • Overpopulation.

    Too many people, too little jobs.

    Then for the jobless to survive, the lucky ones who have a job - have to support the ones without.

    Hmm....

  • @ExtremeBogom Overpopulation??

    Blame the politicans for running stupid economy and discriminatory system. Blame politicans for having corporate jets, luxury. They won't spend a dime for creating jobs. Job creation doesn't exist. only if obama makes good lying speeches. there's jobs. there's jobs. yeah right!!!

  • That woman's dream is to pay the rent!? WOW! Our culture really is BEYOND Ignorant and Brainwashed.

  • @BEZCORE I think she was being sarcastic.

  • Actualy dreams are not real... your imagination should be put to good profit instead pornagraphy and killing things... Sex and killing things, thats what America like... it sounds pretty primal... animal... Stop dreaming...People should wake up... WAKE UP!

  • the american dream never existed because you have to be asleep to believe it.

    governments dont do shit either - shadow governments do

  • Things are fu##ed.

  • RT please fire this news reporter. She is really bad.

  • @TheMorningCoffee and ugly

  • just watch the "The Money Masters" (film)

    it will explain everything

  • @markynj Not everything.You only need one falsehood in a mountain of facts to throw you off.

  • Benjamin Shalom Bernanke loves you

  • 1:08 = toilet paper in 10 years. Don't count on it.

  • @bergen747...yeah if the dollar keeps falling like this it might be as worthless as the russian ruble worth 30 cents or the chinese yuan worth 15 cents per US dollar

  • The RENT IS TOO DAMN HIGH

  • @mrbasil0

    It sucks but get used to it!! cause no one is going to help you but yourself.

  • Concerning unemployment: Honda and Mitsubishi have the technology to develop, within 5 years, robots to replace all workers at McDonalds including burger flippers, cashiers, janitors, and security. The reason you haven't seen this is because for now McDonalds can still employ cheap labors like Mexicans for less. But it's inevitable. Robots are more expensive on paper but they work 24/7, don't strike or steal money, don't need health insurance, and won't sue their employer.

  • @DeeAnn2010b

    Blaming republicans is just as stupid as blaming democrats at this point. What it comes down to is when individual companies screw up badly there comes a point where people turn to the government and start blaming them. The American system relies heavily on private companies to generate revenue and when they don't the whole system falls apart. To be honest, Obama is no better than any president after Kennedy.

  • Why would those responsible care about the American Dream for the general public - they have been living the dream for generations. The American Dream was not meant for the average citizen - otherwise we would have received those checks for 350k - instead the money went to those who are truly in power. Can't blame Obama - this has been going on LONG before the current puppet. Look behind the curtain there you'll find the Wizard of America.

  • The same line over and over, "our government did it" "Obama did it". Utterly clueless.

  • @NewsPuppets Bush did not kill USA. The stupid and greedy Americans destroyed themselves. The jews merely helped them.

  • you havent let the government take over your country, youve let the banks and major corporations take it over.

  • i like how news ancors turn the pages on teir desks but are never reading them

  • Take to the streets and start acting like Americans. It's one thing to take the corruption and lies from the upper class, but it is another thing to take it lying down. Corrupt banks, corrupt corporations, corrupt government, corrupt police...

  • what a load of crappy propaganda.

  • @MySockPuppeteer - So, kid, what is the truth?

  • @MAGNETGRUNT

    the US is great because of its military power, so to cut military spending is just plain dumb. what the US should focus on doing is to make its wars more profitable.

  • @MySockPuppeteer You are wrong, the US should be the leader in promoting world peace, irregardless of our military powers.

  • @lukamu

    hahahahahahaha. and what is the US going to do to get oil, give chocolates and flowers to iranians and iraqis?

    the US is in trouble because it has gone soft. the reason it has gone soft is because of peace-homos like you.

  • @MySockPuppeteer just remember that when WW3 starts and your home city is the first one to go, i was the first one to say "i told you so." and yes, the secretary of defense does tend to call me first before they make policy decisions. tool

  • @lukamu

    when WW3 starts, the first thing we will do is round up peace-faggots like you, strap a nice present onto you, put a ribbon on your gay head and send you to the enemy.

    the only people who would call you are your gay friends, your diseased whore of a mother and our gay gimp of a father. all of whom need to be sent to the enemy together with you.

  • Build a evacuated tube transportation system from L.A. to N.Y. that would create jobs. Cut the military spending, continuing to spend this much only encourages other countries to do the same. But sadly, the military industrial complex is big profit for those who make military related goods. Its big buisness.

  • Russia is pot calling the kettle black as usual. The Russians come to the US to escape Putin's reign of terror mafia state. It is no the other way around. RT is Kremlin propaganda.

  • @aciamanusa maybe but you can't deny the figures.

    58% for the military is fucken insane.

  • @aciamanusa Who are you kidding? The only ones who still come to America are the brown people. I took a friend of mine to get her Citizenship recently and there was literally 3 or 4 white people there out of hundreds the rest were Dominican. So WTF are you talking about?

  • R.I.P USA. See you in 60 years... Maybe.

  • Seeing the world end bit by bit every day feeds my satisfaction for revenge towards all of mankind's stupidity I have to endure.

  • @Cityj0hn Three cheers to that!

  • RT seems obsessed with reporting on and slagging off America, and its never positive. You have RT America! so what gives RT? Kicking people when they are down and lying isn't News, its just Nasty Gossip!

  • @p666ayr So when America does it to other Nations its okay right? Ever heard of Wikileaks? Did you hear the kind of filth American government officials spread? FOX News anyone?

    America is in deep shit...is that gossip? Is that a lie? LOL Okay if you say so...

  • my young apprentices : )

  • Whoever said the American dream was home ownership?

    Mortgage is just another word for rent.

    The American dream is freedom - freedom from harassment.

  • There's plenty of work in parts of America for the nonLazy. Without question - some 6% of people refuse to work and are lazy. So what. The lady says 'you can't invent a job' @ 1:47 LOL - yes you can! It's those who are slow brained and lazy who suffer the most during our economic struggles. But this moron from RT is lying in this report - one more RT bullshit spin story. 'Millions without homes' ? Show us RT. - Millions without homes means that many people live happily in Apartments RT lies

  • @robi2000 Russia minimum wage is about $200-300 a month. In the US you can easily make that much in one week doing a job in retail. jeez Russia looks so poor and corrupt. Thats not even counting the money you have to to pay in bribes to get by in Russia. Oh and that shitty bottles of russian vodka every day and heroine. Most russians cant even afford red meat like hamburger lol

  • @aciamanusa Indeed..I've worked with Russian immigrant physicists in Silicon Valley; They tell us of having worked some Russian buildings that were so cold, they warmed their office spaces with warm bricks brought up to them from the basement boilers, so old, they wouldn't work properly.

  • This all just a huge harvest for the ultra wealthy and since they own our government it's easy pickin's.

  • Why do you care RT. Go to hell.

  • @jumper1294 RT is all about propaganda and lies - obviously. I've almost never seen a real report from them - only the ones where they say absolutely nothing are worth listening to :D

  • 10% unemployment is not propagnda

    it is the AmUrican who is even lying as estimate of this in debt

    14 TRILLION country has really 22% unemployment Rate

  • @BullshitDefender10, sure schoolboy, of course you know something about america. After all , you have American Google and American Youtube to inform you. Thank GOD you don't have to rely on RT - which is a joke media outlet that truly makes us Americans LAUGH OUT LOUD ! 

  • @robi2000 Yes robi just keep pretending America is perfect :) This is called the news...dont like it? Dont watch it dumb-ass.

  • @Orchylus , hey moron . You're the only one who refers to America with the word 'perfect' . I guess you have a dream in your otherwise empty head.

  • @robi2000 I was just being sarcastic you imbecile, hence the smiley face. Go back and read my comment again if you're THAT slow.

  • @Orchyluss you weren't being sarcastic you dunce. Look at your desperate squirming LOL at you !

  • Check out the website called:

    WebOfDebtDOTcom

  • the american dream is for you to suck my raging cock you ugly faggot

  • Crossed the borther to the north - and you come to what is left of America. It is called CANADA, the most livable country in the world.

  • USA has always had a cruel, heartless social system. Now, after the rich robbed the people, this system is strikingly revealing its true face.

  • pour people, all because of the nasty monetary system created by the big bankers.

  • 20 to 24 % unemployed in America.

    We owe 200 TRILLION over 30 years.

    Total crash is certain.

    How will it look post-crash?

    2.10 Shahi. An obama voter. How is that working out for you .?

    END THE FED.

  • We need new America!

  • @Nirwana86 cannibalism

  • American Dream has always been a myth. That myth has long been busted. =)

  • the American DREAM: u have to be asleep to live a dream

  • For many, the ability to dream has become a dream itself. because of 3:06

  • Blame capitalism.

  • @pab4994 actually its corporatism

  • Americans let the government steal the American dream?

    Horse shit!

    President Woodrow Wilson signed over our country to the Banksters in 1913 with the Federal Reserve Act and then Income tax...

    The blame lay with these treasonous acts period. Everything else is just the after effect...

    It has been a steady and insidious encroachment on our Liberty ever since.

    The devastation Wilson did to our country is beyond profound.

  • @batfly Correct. While the average sheeple American fights over Dems and Repubs, while The FEd and banksters happily steal their FIAT money (turn it into real assets) while keeping them distracted with cake and circuses.

  • the globalists raised the cattle and now its slaughter time!!!

  • You can't invent a job? LOL....what about everyone who is "starting up" what about entrepreneurs? They "invented" their job and are successful. Lady, your thinking is all wrong...that's why you don't have a job! Be positive, be creative, get crafty.
