*for every American. The "American Dream" isn't that stuff for the ones who already have it. It's that for everybody.

If that's your definition of the "American Dream" it never existed.

You think folks back in the 1920s could live in the most expensive cities in the US, own a home, send their kids to college, all on one income. I don't think so.

Not that they could do it. But that was the dream. That dream is dead.

So what are you calling 'dream'?

Your seem to be saying people don't even want that any more.

If so, what's the problem?
