As time goes on we get closer to that American Dream of there being a pie cut up and shared. Usually greed and selfishness prevent that and there is always one bad apple in every barrel.

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that over time, society is moving towards realizing the American Dream of equal distribution of wealth and resources. However, the presence of greed and selfishness often obstructs this goal, resulting in an unequal distribution where one person or entity benefits more at the expense of others. The reference to a "bad apple" stresses that even in a group or society, there is often at least one individual who undermines the collective effort towards fairness and equality.
