The term American Dream is originated from James Truslow Adams in his books Epic of
America 1933,
"The American Dream" is "that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and
fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a
difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us
ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of motor cars and high
wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to
attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for
what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position.“ 1. Eroding the tax:
