I can't remember where I first came across that article, but I went back and read it many times over the course of a month or so.

It makes me wonder: where are the myths spun by comfortable people?

• Anyone can be President


• Institutional racism is dead


• There's a good chance anyone can end up upper-class


• The rich pay too much in taxes


• Tooth Fairy


• Modern incarnation of Santa Claus
