There is American nightmare , Cheating Goverment who tells lies , selfish people , ifested with illigals , No jobs. I can imgine what other countries must be like, kill or be killed. I love America but there is know dream.

There was a time in my life when I had the same sentiment as the title to your post. I decided to make a move and it turned out to be the best decision of my life. Sometimes the American Dream cannot be found where you expect it to be. I bet you it's out there somewhere for you.
In North Dakota, the unemployment rate is about 2.2%.
I think I answered wrong...lol
Anyway, the American dream is alive.
Our system works well, but the key remains individual effort relating to setting goals, taking action and staying the course.
You, and ONLY you author your future where a person can either live his dream or endure a nightmare.
I work with too many successful guys who raised themselves up from humble positions in life. Further, I know several immigrants who came to this nation and excelled, because they saw nothing but opportunity.
BUCK UP!
Unfortunately Liberals are robbing from future generations to feed their own personal greed today, leaving future generations a bleak future.
Every older generation will say that their time was "the golden era", and as much as I'd like to think so, I think that every generation has it's nightmarish qualities. Granted, I sometimes find myself yearning to have been in a completely different time, but when I look at history, which was written by the winners of battles, then I would have to say that war, famine, inequality, and other cruelties in the world have always been with us. I might as well face the fact that I was born in the age that I was, even if reality can be a hard pill to swallow.
It's up to us, as it's always been, to decide what we want our future to be. As much as it seems like our destiny isn't in our control, it is. We have the power, for example, as consumers to change how corporations market to us and what they market to us. If we make mass protests, eventually the government won't be able to ignore us. If we give up the do...

If we give up the dogged pursuit of the American Dream for a moment, we might see that if we keep trying to chase a visage of a non-finite planet, there will be no chance for future generations to even consider attempting to live in the American Dream.
I sincerely hope that one day we will be able to live in the world that there are equal opportunities for everyone, and where there is no body of the top richest 1% hoarding all of the money that they make, often, through the pursuit of the American Dream. (It's the ultimate business fantasy, really. Market an idea, and offer the product, then you have people attempting to build themselves a world for the rest of their lives!) That would be a great world, if only we could see reality for reality...
