Using this argument, who would clean the toilets at the airports? Certainly the people who do that wouldn't be "following their dreams". Presumably it's the lower-skilled class doing those jobs but why would they scrub dirty toilets when they could make coffee or scan groceries at the market for the same pay?

Look, I appreciate what you all are saying and your noble intent--I just don't see this working in the US at all. The "American dream" of hard work as a path to wealth and comfort is practically built into the DNA of every new immigrant upon landing in our country.
