Is The American Dream Dead?

[Extra Innings]

Income to Debt is about 120% for most Americans

Never felt soo hopeless about the future. Will it be any better for the next generation

[Brock Landers]

I don't have plans and schemes
And I don't have hopes and dreams
I, I, I don't have anything
Since I don't have you

And I don't have fond desires
And I don't have happy hours
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you

Happiness and I guess
I never will again
When you walked out on me
In walked ol' misery
And she's been here since then

[spoken] Yeah, we're fukked!

I don't have love to share
And I don't have one who cares
I don't have anything
Since I don't have you

You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh, oh!
You, you, you, oh yeah!

[jjgold]

I feel for my young daughter's generation...what will they do with this mess?

The same way that we are dealing with the mess our parents did when we were toddlers.

my pops raised a family with 2 boys on a Navy Aviators paycheck. Paid for a house and everything we needed. My mom never worked a real job. Let's see these guys do it today. No way. Both parents working and most likely way behind / late on bills.

it's always darkest before the dawn.

The thing about countries like the US and Canada is you have the opportunity to bounce back. The strong survive. Always have always will. Maybe you might not have the 2 cars or the 3 plasma TV's for the next couple years and you might have to eat out (too late, I already thought of the joke) less.

When one door closes another opens.

SHARP POST

Making cash under the table will be the key to prosperity in the future. Having a job where the government extracts 50% of your pay only makes you a slave for life.

[DwightShrute]

I only barter

Fact: Studies have shown ... People tend to do more 'work under the table' when government are taxing the fuk out of us all. It's human nature.

Fact: the black mamba snake can travel 20 MPH, making it the fastest snake in the world. Totally off topic I know, I just thought it was interesting.

agree, and as working people no longer have kids....nobody left to pay into pyramid scams like Social security.

USA is toast, I'm Glad I'm not young now, at least had a chance to live 46.5 decent years. The future is non-existant.

[KingKolzig]

Question: What kind of bear is best?

[DwightShrute]

Black bear.

I've had 46.5 good years as well, Dougeroo. Trouble is I'm nine years older than that, but who's counting?

[philswin]

need to get back to Reagan principles of small and effective government not large and inefficient government. Need to implement fair tax in which we tax spending not earning. need to control and enforce Immigration.

[unusialsusp5]

convince an employer to pay you less but only in cash. taxes are for suckers.

[keyboarding]

It has been dead for a while. Ask Willy Loman.

Any you should continue to feel hopeless, unless you stop being lazy and a start moving lawns for $5 dollars a day like all them hard working immigrants

[bradthebloke]

Dusty Rhodes? na, hes alive

[doublej95]

Its not dead unless you let in die within yourself.

[stealthyburrito]

the american dream has been dead for some time now.

i'd say it passed a little after the beginning of the industrial age.

I wish I was Gay or Jewish
Dream is still very alive for them

Is that related to the "Alabama Black Snake" of Full Metal Jacket fame?

[Mr Windy City]

Like JJ said. If you really want the American dream it is no longer finding an hourly wage job and raising a family. You have to do something that makes you quick cash and the gov't can't get their hands on it. Such a shame what this country has turned into. I was walking to the train today and I looked around and noticed all the people walking on the streets. Majority all look stressed out, unhappy, lost, and confused. We are all rats stuck in a rat race and it upsets me. THIS IS NOT THE AMERICAN DREAM.
