No it's not. All you need is money, lots of it. Oh yea, I forgot almost nobody has any these days. So maybe it's over.

Yeah, there's been a tremendous shift in wealth to the very rich these last few years and that is continuing. The children of the rich are instant celebrities and people follow them like they were gods and goddesses. The access to the American dream is to be born into that wealth or be so amazingly outstanding that your skills are superior and gifted and desired.
