What does "The American Dream" mean to you?

[mrbizzard]

What is your definition of The American Dream?

[hitch0403]

Waking up in a cold sweat!!

[almorin]

To me America represents Liberty.  The American Dream is the rights, privileges and freedoms to pursue one's goals, dreams and passions (ie. the pursuit of happiness).  Unfortunately, many of our rights, privileges and freedoms have been eroding over the years as governments seek to control and regulate all things under every imaginable condition.  God Bless America!

To have peace and health in life.

To not have people who are not legal dictate what our GOV should do for them. If their county will not do for them then do not come here with your border babies and anchor babies and try to dictate what our GOV should do for them.

To those that use the phrase "god bless america"

 “For a certainty I perceive that God is not partial, but in every nation the man that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.” (Acts 10:34, 35) Peter had learned that God’s view of people is not determined by race, nationality, or any other external factors. Peter proceeded to bear witness about Jesus’ ministry, death, and resurrection.

To not have people rated by color or creed.  Whether we are Black, White, Chinese, Hispanic or polka dot, we are all brothers and sisters.

It used to mean that anyone that worked hard could get ahead.  It no longer seems to mean that.  Now the way to get ahead seems to be by taking as much as you can from the government.

The American Dream to is the good life, such as home, family, and good health.

[rghvac69]

To have the opportunity, not guarantee, to become wealthy and successful.

[kristalie]

A happy family, a job you love, and the house of your dreams.

[rdy2pl8]

for me, it means being able to provide for my family, paying the bills, having money saved for retirement, and other expenses. As well, as having a nice, affordable place to live, and an affordable car to drive.

[lgemini]

The American dream is to have enough of money to live a good life.

[quietpal]

To me it means being free from debt and making enough income to have the freedom to enjoy my life now, and not have to wait 20 or 30 years to enjoy it.
