In the song “Harlan Man” written by Steve Earle, you can tell that the narrator doesn’t really know anything other than mining. So how can we say America doesn’t provide access to the American Dream, when it is really us who don’t look for it? In the song he says “I’m a mountain man, Born in east Kentucky and here I’ll stay.” so obviously he isn’t looking to go any farther with his life than he is now. Despite the opportunities this country has given us, there are some of us who complain about the way we are living, but choose not to do anything to change
