When this book talked about the American dream, it made me think back to our previous book, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and how he was talking about how he found the American dream. At this part of the book I feel as if the people that are reading the newspaper aren't getting what they deserve. People should have the right to know about what is actually going on around them and not be hid from the truth. So for the newspaper to be treating their people like this is unfair and unworthy of their time and reading. What I think Kemp will do is that he will realize that what the newspaper is doing is not right and that he will do the right thing and secretly issue a newspaper that has all the bad news that is actually true and the people will rebel. The people then will feel like they were mistreated and lie to and then all chaos will break loose. The newspaper team will then try to hunt down Kemp due to his "treason" of the company. I agree with you that the American dream is putting time and effort into a dream of yours and at the long run you will succeed and achieve this goal. Then that feel good smile and feeling you have when you finally achieve the goal is part of the American dream. The American dream that the chief is describing is the "cheaters" version of the American dream. Achieving wealth by doing what they are doing will not get you the happiness that the real American dream would give you at the end.
