The American dream is essentially dishonest or not is depending on their people’s social condition, like social status and asset. For rich people, the AD is pretty honest and these rich people can easily achieve their American dream by using their money. However, it is very difficult for poor people to reach their American dream which means that American dream is essentially dishonest to them, because they do not have any extra money to “help” themselves achieve their goals. Just like the Tom in The Great Gatsby, he can easily get anything what he want by using his own money. When the poor people working hard for find a place to live, he can enjoy his party in his own extra personal apartment. When the poor people making living very hard, he can buy a pet dog for another women as much as he want. When the poor people find it very difficult to get married, Tom can get another woman after he married Daisy. These rich people like Tom in Park Avenue also can get and achieve their American dream very easily. They living the most prosperous and richest part of Park Avenue and they control & occupied more wealth than the 150 million people in the bottom 50 percent of the population. And they invest government by using their money. In this way, the government will impose less tax on them and then they can make more profit. However, the total amount of tax is same, so that government will impose more tax on poor people. The more taxes were imposed on poor people, the less capital the poor people can use to achieve their American dream. Then the American dream become more and more difficult for these poor people. For is American dream is unattainable for all is also depending on people’s social condition. For poor people, the American dream is unattainable, because the reality will destroy them when they approaching their AD.
