The NEW American Dream
How about a dream that everyone can benefit from that doesn't entail gross inequalities in wealth or further damage to our environment. Instead of us competing against each other, we could all benefit from a general increase in wages and reduced hours for the bottom 99%, and increased taxation on the 1%. We know the benefits, which includes more time to organize and manage the workplace and establish co-determination or maybe even workers' ownership. Not to mention the gains in our personal lives and lives in the community.
We already know a 6-hour workday is possible:
"Wages have been increased and the six-hour day introduced." The CNT in the Spanish Revolution by Jose Peirats.
There's also a movement for a 4-hour workday:

Whichever you think is more plausible, this discussion needs to begin.
