This is what has happened in America today. The desire for more has become an obsession, and it has led to a number of social problems, including:

Consumerism: The desire for more has led to a consumerist culture in America. People are constantly buying new things, even when they don't need them. This consumerism has led to a number of environmental problems, including pollution and climate change.
Capitalism: The American Dream is based on the idea of capitalism. Capitalism is an economic system in which the means of production are privately owned. This system has led to a great deal of wealth and prosperity in America, but it has also led to a great deal of inequality. The rich have become increasingly wealthy, while the poor have become increasingly poor.
Socialism: The problems of consumerism and capitalism have led to an increasing number of people supporting socialism. Socialism is an economic system in which the means of production are owned by the government. Socialist policies have been shown to reduce inequality and improve the lives of the poor, but they have also been criticized for stifling innovation.
