Has anyone considered that at the time "The American Dream" was coined, there was a large immigration movement?
That's what I thought of first, Bruce. Since people are still fighting for the chance to come here, I think the American Dream must still be alive. I know several immigrant families who have come with very little, managed to open and run a small business, raise children, put them through college and launch them in professional jobs. One example is a Korean couple whose son is now attending West Point. I think, for me, that's the dream in a nut shell, the ability to give your children a better life than you had.

[Love your signature, Bruce.]
