I want to make sure I understand what you're saying. In America it is delusional to believe that one might achieve a measure of wealth by working hard/smart, making good decisions, and trying to achieve financial independence? Do you really believe that?
FTR, I'm definitely not a big L libertarian but I do believe the government should have as little to do with my everyday life as possible. I do believe I should be able to keep the fruits of my labor. I do believe in personal responsibility. I hardly think those things make me delusional.
