Most people don't desire to be millionaires or movie stars. They basically want a house, car and their kids to do marginally better than they did.

That modest dream is becoming increasingly difficult.

That's sure sacrilege on a super-capitalist average American bashing thread.

"That modest dream is becoming increasingly difficult."

You can't be serious. Did you ever hear of the great depression? Where you around during Jimmy Carter? WWII? Stop whining. There are no guarantees. Rush is so correct. People think history began the day they were born.

Your kids will do fine. If you teach them one thing, "its up to you to succeed or not and never give up."
