Have you ever read ANY US history?
Did you you read what I wrote?
Do you you think the American Dream is "I want a big house and I got it!". That is both sad and ignorant.
Thinking the American Dream is getting "what you want" is exactly what is wrong with the US today - The idea originated as a much larger idea in the late 1800's/early 1900's, was articulated by James Adams in the 30's, and has been written about from all sorts of perspectives by a slew of writers like F. Scott Fitzgerald, Edward Albee, Horatio Alger, John Steinbeck, and Hunter S. Thompson.
And don't take my word for it, it was first declared dead when Adams coined the term.
