The end of the American dream

the choice is yours to make ...

True freedom.

Just burn in hell for all eternity if you do not choose the only choice allowed by Christianity?
although I do not recall reading where Christ ever said that.

Here is one example:
38.Matthew 18:9 (Whole Chapter)
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
 
"If you work hard and play by the rules, you ought to have a decent life and a chance for your children to have a better one," President Bill Clinton once famously declared. Yet America is no longer the best place for those born poor to live out the American Dream. According to some studies, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore and much of Western Europe offer their citizens a much higher degree of economic mobility. The impoverished in the U.S., on the other hand, are more likely to stay poor, while rich Americans stay rich — bad news for a country grounded in a much-vaunted "classless" society and one of presidential hopeful Rick Santorum's talking points on the campaign trail. Is economic mobility in the U.S. a myth?

The American nightmare: What happened to economic mobility in the U.S.? - The Week

God damned harder than it used to be , but still possible.

I have a lot of difficulty believing Europe has any advantage.





The only place in Europe where rapid economic mobility is possible is in Russia. And most of that is through illegal activities. New Zealand is very difficult to get ahead. Australia is better then New Zealand by quite a bit but you have to willing to work hard in the Outback to really get a quick boost.
 
Let me Demonstrate How the American Dream is Alive:


I'm American.
I marched upwards of 800 miles along the pacific coast handing out upwards of 50,000 dollars to the homeless and deserving.
That's American.
Why isn't my story covered or followed by the media?
The reason is because the media is controlled by Zionists, and I have a firm stance against the nation of Israel.
I marched upwards of 800 miles along the pacific coast handing out upwards of 50,000 dollars to the homeless and deserving.
Why does a soldier who murders Arabs in senseless wars get a standing ovation while I am jeered and mocked?
The reason is because the American ideals of industrialism and capitalism surpass matters of the heart.
I'm American.
I marched upwards of 800 miles along the pacific coast handing out upwards of 50,000 dollars to the homeless and deserving.
That's American.
Why are thugs worshipped as idols while I am completely dismissed as a human being?
The reason is because the music industry praises a materialistic philosophy while I praise idealistic generosity.
I'm American.
While the war-mongering men of the world choose to approach life like a chess game, I am content being a peter pan in a world of captain hooks.
While the pleasure-worshipping men that top the charts boast their splendid luxury to a beat, I am content living in motel rooms and seeeing where I can be of service to my earth every day.
There are those who see my attempts for righteousness as attention-seeking behavior and arrogant mannerisms, but they do not see my mornings where I get on my knees and pray for the graces of God.
The world would have my good-looking face and talents, but the world will not have my controversial opinions.
Palestine was stolen from the Palestinian people, and I will not accept Israel's existence.
The Israeli macho men can threaten my life, but I say to the Israeli tough guys of the world, " come get some, you brain-washed zionists who are on the wrong side of history " .
Peaceful people who are living in unison with the earth without lust for dominion over lands are spiritually superior to fear-mongering men with guns.
I will never forget the peaceful mexican-american community whose homes were destroyed in Chavez Ravine to build Dodger Stadium.
You cannot sell me a sports franchise because being fair, true, and just comes before my petty allegiances to a team.
In a world of ESPN-men with no sense of nationalism or civic duty, I say the American thing to do is to cut all ties with Israel.
The Israeli military is training our police officers to treat all American citizens as militants.The recent police brutality in the occupy protests shows how their Israeli training is worsening the citizenry's relationship with their public service officers.
Judaism ended with the Jewish messiah, Yashua, or better known to english-speaking peoples as Jesus Christ.
Although I am not muslim and do not believe Muhammad to be a prophet, Israel's nazi-like rule over the palestinians is inhumane and unjust.
Additionally, even though I am not Mexican, the Mexican-American war was completely unjust.America stole Mexican territories through war-mongering and fear-mongering.My skin has no color; I simply do my best to see what is fair and just.
I implore America to stop supporting the fear-mongering state of Israel.
I implore America to stop treating mexican immigrants like subhumans.
I implore America to reshape what it means to have American ideals. When my corporation makes capital in the upcoming months, I promise to do my best to funnel this money back into communities which need help.Peaceful people who live in unison with the earth will be protected by the 10,000 man army of me.
I implore the FBI to stop persecuting peaceful people who merely wish to smoke marijuana which is scientifically proven to prevent lung cancer.
I implore the FBI to focus their efforts on methamphetamines because this is a much greater danger to the souls of our generation.
I marched upwards of 800 miles along the pacific coast handing out upwards of 50,000 dollars to the homeless and deserving.
I'm not a millionaire and this generosity severely impacted my livelihood, but I don't care about my own livelihood.I want a different world. I want a better world. I will never give up on trying to make the world a better place regardless of how insurmountable a task it may seem.
I will fight for peace until I am murdered by the Mossad.
I will fight for peace until I am interned in a FEMA camp and mislabeled as a terrorist.
I will fight for peace because pacifism allows the fear-mongerers and war-mongerers to exist.
I will fight the fear-mongerers and war-mongerers.
This fight begins with turning American public opinion against the nation who has routinely violated the rights, peace, and freedom of nations across the world.
This is the nation that has hijacked our American government through lobbyists.This is the nation who engages in secret killings around the world.
This is the nation who stole the land of Palestine from peaceful people.
This is the nation who is wrong when they believe that the holy bible gives them the right to land of Canaan.The land was yours, and God took it from you because King Solomon and later leaders turned to Idoltary and Sorcery instead of worshipping Yahweh.
I am a man from an Israeli-Jewish family who can see past his own personal bias, and say confidently,
In 1948, the world made a grave error in policy.
The Holocaust was terrible, but it did not give the Jewish people the right to terrorize Palestinians.
Israel will do whatever it needs to further its own goals.
Israel is not America's ally. America is Israel's ally.
This is how it has been for decades.
I implore our American leaders and the American army, navy, and marines to remember the USS Liberty incident when in 1967 Israel knowingly attacked our Navy while blaming the attack on Arabs in hopes of dragging us into their war.
They will do the same with Iran.
Israel will do whatever it takes to drag America into a war with Iran.
Enough American troops have died.
Senseless wars are not American.
As meager or feeble of an attempt this may be, I will fight for what is fair.I will continue to march around the country handing out my money to the homeless and deserving. I protect the homefront,
and That's American.

Please use your share button to all of your friends and you can give this mesage a voice.
If every friend who receives this message shares it to all of their friends, you can reshape history.
You have the power to save America.
There is no threat to you. I will take the heat.
I can handle it.

Did God not command you to "love your neighbor as yourself"? Did He say only when your neighbor is fair? Did He say only when your neighbor does things as you think he should? Did he say " Do not covet? Did He say say "Do not kill"? Did Jesus say that all the law was fullfilled if you love God and love your neighbor as yourself? Put away foolish pride then will the "light of God" shine on you.
 
..........What they mean is those countries offer more safety net at the tax payers expense. More socialism for the supposed poor. More opportunities to get someone else to pay to get you out of being poor.
The safety nets here in the U.S. rapidly become hammocks. Then, safely ensconced, the participants spend the rest of their lives sabotaging themselves so that they never have to get out......

What they mean is the poor over there aren't so poor, have better schools, and university and training schools are way cheaper. Under Voodoo, the game is stacked- see sig pp1. Idiot.

BS. And the minimum wage in Oz is $15, in NZ $13.They're obviously communists LOL!:badgrin:
 
American Pride and Nationalism has been hijacked by the George Bush, New World Order, Crime syndicate. Only the Army can save us now. COUP! COUP!
 
Income and social standing statistics suggest that social mobility is still a part of our society.

Ssdly it's not the kind of social mobility that we'd hope for.

The middle class is hollowing out as a few make their way into more affluence and many times that amount of lucky citizens tumble down into poverty.

We are becoming more and more like a banana-republic, economically speaking
