The American dream that you can come here work really hard and you will make it is a bit cloudy now a days.

Working hard or working to advance? There's a difference. I just don't buy the argument that our country doesn't present opportnities to all. Does that guarantee every single hard worker will get ahead? No. Does it guarantee that no lazy asses will get ahead? No. But it never has. Working hard to advance yourself increases the odds. By a lot. There are an amazing amount of people who simply have never grasped the idea that they need to do something to get ahead. It isn't always easy. In fact it rarely is.
