Everyplace is the land of opportunity for people a few days away from starving who own nothing. The problem starts once you work you way up from bottom and want to keep that level of lifestyle. The recession has proved that the old ways of working hard and getting ahead are long gone.
The operative word in my statement was " some " people who come from other countries to make a life here.
I know it's not all rainbows & butterflies. It's a hard call as to whether or not i'm a pessimist or a realist but things don't look all that great to me. IMO ... the last generation that had a real shot at the American dream were those who were at the peak of their careers in the 1960's & 1970's. It's been a slipping down life ever since.
You know what ?
None of that matters.
It pales in comparison to the biggest obstacle anyone will ever have to overcome to find real success & satisfaction in life.
