Current Events > What exactly is the American dream?

(+) Yeah! (+)

This phrase gets used a lot. Is there a checklist one needs to check off to be living the American dream?

Leaving for a better country.

Like all dreams, you have to be asleep

Liberty from government oppression, allowing opportunities for economic advancement through work

The ability to own a house, or land. Some people came to America because they were tired of being oppressed by their landlord

The American Dream is to underpay a bunch of workers and get rich by exploiting your workers. This is a product of the awful capitalist world we live in. Become a worker until you can be the guy working the workers

tons of money, hot young girls, fast food, fast cars, huge house, security, guns, bombs

Real answer: a modest 1500sqft house with a white picket fence surrounding a modest land, two cars, a spouse, two kids, and a pet.

A nice house with a nice lawn, 2.5 kids, thin wife, nice fence, two cars

theres an additional aspect which republicans dont like to talk about out loud

A house and two cars, maybe three.

Sad that the American dream is dead for a lot of people

you can thank the govt for not doing anything to even try to keep housing affordable

One of the world's 7 greatest scams.

You gotta step on or over people or you'll be the one getting stepped on and over.

Angsty responses? On CE? In a topic about America? My word, I never.

To work yourself to death until you're old, brittle and full of regret

Looks like I'll never live the American dream then. No way I can get a house AND for it to have a lawn unless it is in the middle of nowhere.

What's that additional aspect missing?

and that too.

At least 8 guns

Not worrying about your door getting kicked in and knowing that you have the ability to choose your own career. You can also basically sell anything you want, within the limits of the law (so, no plutonium or serious narcotics without a compicated permit) ~ Freedom and Safety, man

Our own slice of heaven

Everything gets americanized

The term "americanized" is americanized. It should probably be "united statesizied" or something like that

House, wife, car, 2.5 children

retire early

Do your own homework!

But doing my own homework is anti-american.
