Sounds alot like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happyness.
Americans seek security.
But what we have is uncertainty, as we have all our wealth flowing upwards. Most of us, worry about our jobs, or we lose vacations and sick days, so the boss can get a raise....
Thank goodness, I am in one of the few professions that cannot be outsourced. Don't mean they do not strip us to barebones benefits in the process.
I shoulda became a government worker,dammit I had my chance too...They never gave back, they always took more, while we all took less in sacrifice to the bad economy.

What is your trade Soopa cant you work for yourself or have a few partners get yourself a contractors lic. I do commercial refrigeration myself and just recently started a small business with another HVAC guy its just the two of us and two trucks and the gear and helpers when needed.
Anyway the "American Dream".
Dream seems like a poor choice of words to me a dream is something surreal something in your subconsciousness that rarely directly reflects reality.You have a dream where your teeth fall out it is because you fear failure not because you want to become a dentist.
People have wants and goals and ideas not dreams.
