I used to think this and obviously I think every citizen should engage in productive labor...but the American Dream as sold to generations past is largely a myth at this point. What used to be "stair step" jobs to better jobs really are just truly dead-end now. Go take a look at real earnings over the past few decades and you will see that there has been a real stagnation for the rising class.

you really think so?
for instance, I think getting a job at mcdonalds, while admirable and a good starting point, will not yield an opportunity for the majority of people. Even if you get promoted, you won't be making very much money and they basically expect you to quit.
sure its better than waiting for life to hand you everything but its not really an opportunity for most.
