The entire system is rigged and freedom is an illusion. As George Carlin once said they call it the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it. The real difference between right and left is one choses not to partake and the other tries to prevent everyone else from doing so. It's individualism vs collectivism and libertarian vs authoritarian. Free market and liberty vs command economy and force. One wants to be left alone and one wants to control you. Socialism is just neo feudalism and both are still leftist.
Not necessarily, the political gatekeeping tried to keep out people like him and they would allways mess with him because they didn't like his words. The erosion of upward mobility over time also means unless you're born into it or have leftist political views it's difficult to get and stay there.

The american dream was invented by the cabal to push people into debt trying to live a life they cant aford.
America is about freedom and working for what you earn.
Real freedom hasn't existed since the frontier days.
You can get damn close to it in Alaska.
It's a big club. And YOU ain't in it!
But didn't Carlin live the dream himself? After all nobody handed him his success and wealth.
