Cheating on your homework is not the way to make it in a meritocracy because, in a meritocracy, worth is determined by skill and talent. The American Dream, which is one of success for all who strive for it, is, indeed, a fable but, it would be even more of an urban legend for someone who takes the easy way out IF America was a meritocracy.

I think it is just as much a myth as the Australian dream (owning a house on a big block of land). But people like to have dreams. There are sometimes good elements in these aspirations, but not everyone is on an equal plane to begin with.
