  • America bull shit, cant provide for your people get rid of the statue of liberity, for there is no liberty in America right now, just wealthy sitting on peoples money with there fat ass in a suit

  • WELL THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN TRUE IF THE DREAM WAS FOR THE AMERICANS BORN HERE NOT FOR THE PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES THAT SWARMED TO GET HER NOW WE ARE ALL DOOMED

  • @ZachLaffin Obama talked the talk, Ron Paul walks the walk.

  • "The American Dream" is propaganda geared toward the goal of maximum productivity with minimal resistance

  • RON PAUL!! 2012!!!!

  • @Budsmokerhaha Ron Paul is another Obama, just you wait

  • @SMGJohn that has to be the stupidest thing ive ever heard anyone say in my entire life. For real. No joke. Why don't you back your shit up and tell us all one thing Obama has in common with Ron Paul hahahaha

    Youre talkin about the ONLY candidate who stands up for our constitution and has never voted against it, Compared to Obama the destroyer who signed the national defense authorization act. Look it up jackass. Sub-section D section 1033 is the waiver to use force on civilians. ass

  • @ZachLaffin I think your quite retardedly blind in this matter. Like Ron Paul, Obama promised to fix everything and do this and that. So did a couple of other presidents back in the past. What we get? A even more cruel America, you do realize the president don't control a shit in America, evil corporations and wealthy people do they are hidden behind the shadow of the presidents and they control them like puppet government. People like you are usually blind and don't see it

  • Everybody could be rich in america if they would just study more in high school

  • If you make home-made stuff you are ridiculed, and eventually sued by the corporation. I don't think people have a clue what is required because they absolutely refuse to take action because they are in love with technology and they have sold there soul to get as much of it as possible cheaply. outsourced slavery, and contract killing is the new corporate/government reality. R.I.P. Wellstone

  • As real as it seems the American Dream Ain't nothing but another calculated schemes To get us locked up shot up back in chains To deny us of the future rob our names Kept my history of mystery but now I see The American Dream wasn't meant for me Cause lady liberty is a hypocrite she lied to me Promised me freedom, education, equality Never gave me nothing but slavery And now look at how dangerous you made me -2pac Panther Power
  • is this "dream" measured in money? then it has nothing to do with "working hard". very often it depends on luck and moral choice...

  • Theres a reason they call it a dream

  • What is "The American Dream"? maybe it is just that, a dream.

  • In Russia, everybody and their grandma was educated and had at least Bachelors degree, they still had long bread lines, very few had phones, and even today today people don't even have proper heating in their home. "Education" is propoganda, doing something with your life that you can do 100% and are good at is the ULTIMATE DREAM, that you can ever wish for.

  • Without a loan from your parents or the bank, whether it is a student loan or a business loan, it's not easy to get to the top in America. Banks are not lending. If you have a rich daddy who covers the expense, consider yourself lucky. Whenever someone tells me that made it and so can everyone else, inevitably, there is family money helping them.

  • For many, the American Dream was never possible. It was just told to them so they could work hard, to provide for the upper classes. Even among the "Middle Class" the idea of owning a home and actually having a say in your life was only really possible for the "Upper Middle Class".

  • the american dream.....a materialistic, consumerist ideal!....its a dream!...you arent meant to achieve it!....dont you get it!

  • If you have lots of money, you can buy your American Dream.

  • I guess it is called a dream cause you have to sleep to achieve it

  • if u has high education just come to asia, u'll never be jobless

  • Like if you believe as american's we deserve to have schooling of at least 4 years in college paid for by the government, and believe school should be a right not a privilege

  • College is part of the scam

  • Yup....America. sucks...now can all you haters immigrate to Russia or China or some other place!

  • @kibyegon It doesn't mean those other countries are any better, dipshit.

  • @sunzoo1 I come from a 3 rd world country. Yes, This country is struggling by its standards, but it is still a great country based on values I can live with.

  • Love RT, cuz they show what USA and EU not like, they show another side of the coin)))

  • that newt thing says he wants to teach Americans how to get a job? doing what? cleaning his flippin pool? these days, an American would be better off moving to Mexico, renouncing citizenship, then coming back as a wet back, er, undoocumented immagrunt ... use all the financial support to lift themselves up, by avoiding the tricked out cars and fancy bling most undoocumented immagrunts buy with all the help, one could do welll

  • It's true, "anyONE can live the American Dream".

  • all bullshit 40 years ago it was possible trust me i know today in this economy if you kids don't take back your country soon you won have 1 left .

  • I know this is going to shock many people but poor people usually stay poor because of financial intelligence.

  • This expression had been invented by the U.S. government. Take a red pill and wake up, America!

  • "You have to be asleep to believe it." -George Carlin-

  • @Quantum205 "It's called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it."  is the more complete quote by Greorge Carlin

  • Ron Paul 2012

  • The American Dream is just that, a DREAM!

  • fuck this report. stop recommending these stupid RT videos to me! they are so wrong and they completely obsess over my great country. i mean i know we are really popular but you don't have to act so jealous all the time :P also, the american dream is far from over seeing as how i'm living it. FUCK YOU! AMERICA ROCKS (it's not our fault that you can't live up to us...)

  • its not working hard that will make you rich, its being smart and cunning

  • Cont' where it was Cut Off-

    Homophobic, Racist, Lying pigs! Their Is No American Dream Anymore,

    It's just Survival Tactics dealing w these Monsters From a gopHELL!

    QP

  • This country is at the bottom of the Worse

    Of Filthy TOLIETs, Caused yrs ago, by the Republicans - It's Been Class Warfare for Decades already. Don't believe their Lies!

    Gop wants American Ppl to be Stupid (why do you think-NoFunding4Education!), Its easier to control, The-Ppl that way, & steal elections, take us to wars, through LIES, Costing Trillion$. That Wasn't Prez Obama doing - It Was G. w. BUSH, & ALL those Hateful GOP'ers  [Cronies] FAULTS!

    R.paul is as Fk'd as the rest of the homopho

  • Ron Paul 2012

  • "I'm gonna teach 'poor people' how to find a job or get a better job" There shouldn't be a poor/lower class as abundant as it is here in the U.S. dumbass. Instead of ranting on about how to teach people, make fucking jobs! Fix this economy! Make people want to come here again!

  • this country is completely falling apart and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. I live in a fairly affluent area outside of Los Angeles and have so for 10 years. Every day, I see more and more homeless people wandering my streets. It used to just be middle-aged men but now it's all kinds. Just yesterday I saw a homeless kid who couldn't have been more than 19 or 20. He wasn't a scammer either. He was really homeless. I see homeless middle-aged women now too. Is this Obama's change?

  • @superwebwarrior yeah it's obama's change fromm the 700 billion banker bailout.

  • there is no american dream...american SCHEME is more like it. sadly even the lower classes fr the most part believe the scam that they will soon be masters instead of what they are...SLAVES!

  • i dont think they should downplay how great America has been economicly. The U.S. population has 50% of the top 1% of the money in the world but that is gunna end soon if we dont do something about it. Our illegitimate government prints money out of thin air so that isnt a problem at the moment.

  • propaganda works wonders...

  • dreaming is over, time to wake up.

  • The American dream only works if your a white male, anything else, has no hope.

  • @RoboBagons Yea, you'd never see a black man as president in the US. That'd NEVER happen.

  • Success is still legal, so long as your success plays nice with the people above you and you don't get too big. Once you get big enough that you can start threatening the masters, that's why they cry foul...

  • Roman Bellic...

    yeaaah its the american dream!!!

    Niko Bellic:

    Shut up and go to sleep!!! xd

  • Come to my country folks, and invest in American cuisine market.

    BRING MY COUNTRY'S AMERICAN FOOD PRICES DOWN!

    Err, sorry for the advertising.

  • You can still get ahead and make it, but I don't disagree that it might be harder now.

    Success = work x dream x vehicle - it's the vehicle (capitalism) that is being thwarted by your congress and Ron Paul is your only hope

  • I don't know what Ritzy private school these fucks went too. Everyone I know was 18-22k in debt upon graduation. Not 100k+

  • What they fail to leave out is that the rich kids have every advantage...where as the poor basically have to sell their souls and dedicate themselves almost 100 % to succeed...hell even the rich kids have to work pretty hard to make it...I can't even imagine what it would take if you lived in the inner city...unless you are a rapping genius...I'm sure the odds for the rich and poor are drastically different very drastic! Inner cities are modern day prisons...they were made that way

  • The American dream: You have to be sleep to believe in it.

    The only people who are living the american dream are the zionist because they control the media and economy, everybody else is getting screwed in the back.

  • my parents say i won't amount to anything if i don't go to college. i don't care to be in debt for 30 years.

  • ron paul 2012 anyone???

  • @PersonWithAnAccount7 Sadly, too many idiots live in this country for RP to get into WH. The number of idiots living here is staggering.. Wake up? I don't think so. Even if they "wake up", their anger will go sideways and will be neutralized. Hardly any education, people holding college degree are unbelievably stupid. It's all just a joke. As much I like RP and his morals, he is running against a totally corrupted, capable of anything MONSTER. This country is done. Look around....

  • What about us people who do not want to be rich and famous but just want to be comfortable with the bills paid and job security? It''s not possible anymore.

  • ahh the american dream..I myself a middle class worker that works at the local fire dept. My city just gave me a year ago a 28% paycut.This year I have a 17% paycut and my health insurance for me and my family went up 31% this year. Im making today what I was making 6 Years ago.Yet the cost of living rises but our pay doesnt in Fl...I also owe 93k in school loans.So how am I suppose to pay for my loans when I barely make enough money to get by?? If this is the american dream you can have it...

  • it is indeed a cycle repeated ! A cycle of wickedness , filth , & sin ! The only freedom we have in this sess pool aka country is the freedom to sin !!! Str8 madness !!!

  • Work hard work smart work everyday that's what life is about since Adam and Eve were cast from Eden.

    Wake up and get a job Peeps, Eden was over many many years ago...

  • @yaahme go hang yourself you idiot. you missed the point entirely....

  • People are forgetting that working hard does not exclude working smart. Hard work alone takes you nowhere. You have to couple working smart, with working hard to succeed. These hard workers need to work a little harder at doing things intelligently rather than difficultly.

  • The Empire is finished, like the Romans, and other cultures before...Sadly they don´t know it the stupid idiots..

  • Reality ------> www2(DOT)ucsc(DOTedu/whorulesa­merica/power/wealth(DOT)html

  • LMAO you're 100k in debt when you graduate, the American dream HAHAHA

    I talk to so many retarded Americans on the internet everyday who just act 100% oblivious to everything it's no wonder your country is going down the drain.

    You people think you're just the shit yet 50% of your jobs are McDonalds. The entire US population should kill itself. The world would scream in cheer.

  • @BCt0xiN Yea other countries around the world are doing great taking advantage of United States.

  • Reality  -----> www2(DOT)ucsc(DOT)edu/whorules­america/

  • What jobs? McDonalds? Fast food? Yeah feed a family with that kind of funds. The industrial jobs and middle class has been destroyed by washington with the sign of NAFTA years ago. They were given tax breaks to take YOUR jobs and send them to SLAVE labor countries. The only way back to a better America is get the jobs back here and stop importing cheap Chinese goods made with the blood and sweat of slaves. Also abolish the Federal reserve bank and clean house and senate of the rancid and greedy.

  • The American dream only makes sense if you're sleeping-Lowkey

  • In America you have to be a Silverstein, a Bloomberg or Goldman to get anywhere, so either most people have to change their names or the American dream is but an illusion, created for the majority to believe in, your better off believing in the tooth fairy than in the Bloombergs who run the economy.

  • The American Dream. "You got to be asleep to believe it."

  • @ZSwierczynski George Carlin the Greatest Philosopher

  • Comment removed

  • all i see there is poor education standards, the country turns to shit because of it. same thing happening in Russia.

  • The American Dream is still very much alive. But it takes a lot of work. Starting your own business is actually quite easy and inexpensive. But making it successful....THAT is Hard.! It really depends on your perseverance. When a winner gets knocked down, they just keep getting up. They don't stop until they have what they want. Not everybody wants to do it this way though. Some people just want a decent job with good pay...they want Security.

  • @GuyFawkes40 But here's the hardest part of it all... The people who persevere deserve the fruits of their labor. The people that simply want to work only deserve what they will be paid for their particular job. I've been on the very lowest part of the economic ladder for my whole life...that is until I finally realized that I control my life. Now I have opened a small online business producing products by hand...and soon I'll be opening a second business. It's slow and hard at first.

  • @GuyFawkes40 But THIS is what the American Dream is...the ability to work for yourself and keep the bulk of your profits. I'm not col hearted to the employees I'll soon be hiring...I hope to pay them a decent wage and generally make them feel happy. But make no mistake about it. I am going to make far more money than them because....It's My Company and My Hard Work that started it.

  • @GuyFawkes40 You are a paid hack coming in here for the sole purpose of assuaging people to Keep On Keepin On. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain, right? Nobody believes a single word you have typed here, yet you make sure your emphasis is on "hunky-dory". People like you are the worst of the worst, capitalizing on the misery of others.

  • @eraffel ... I wish I was a paid hack. I could sure use some extra money right now.

  • @GuyFawkes40 haha, ok, I read your comments, and I agree with some of your points. You DO desserve the fruits of YOUR labour because you took more risk, but at the same time, the people who work underneath you should not be "just employees" but partners capable and reliable and able to work for the companies goals and objectives while adding more to it. But with the economy the way it is, small business owners have no choice BUT to screw people over. So its a perpetuating system.

  • @AVEYoungCeasar How can someone be a "partner" when they do not risk anything? That sounds fair to you?

  • @eraffel Ok, I wrote to GuyFawkes, and I've read your comments. I agree with you both on certain points, but not completely. He is right on the fact that he does desserve to profit from his venture because he's taking all the risk. But your right in the fact that perhaps he doesn't truly grasp the economical and psychological impact millions of Americans are going through, and its only getting worst. But come on man, debate, don't instigate. Show your passion in public :)

  • @GuyFawkes40 That was a very realistic and wise perception on your part. Nicely said!

  • you gave the dream away, you cant make it if you get overtaxed and overregulated and there is no point saving...

  • This is "monetarism" any system with Fiat currency based on war industries/finance will only hurt people and benefit the elites.

    It was like this in Ancient Greece, Rome, China, India and Egypt. We do not know how to make the things we needs. Food, shelter and clothing so be we "go the money".

    Bottom line is about clothes food and shelter

  • American Dream is true for china not usa

  • There is social mobility in America, people are moving down the economic ladder all the time.

  • Hate your enemies with a whole heart, and if a man smite you on one cheek, SMASH him on the other! Smite him hip and thigh, for self preservation is the Highest Law!

  • America seems more like Pakistan every day.

  • the land of debt

  • Well you do have to be asleep to believe "The American Dream"

    "The Reality" is that these people who have money are supposed to be creating jobs for those who do not have money because they have the ability to do so. Simple as that.

  • we are happy at what is happening to you ...we wait and hope for your destruction, how can you live upto your dreams when you have killed thousands and thousands of our women and children in iraq and afghanistan.We wait to see your complete destruction.

  • What did that chick get her degree in? Sociology? Art? Fashion Design?

  • @joel1923, Does everyone who does a degree have to get into law or medicine to survive? So all degrees should be boiled down to a handul of choices that kill creativity, have no benefit to society and enrich big corporations?

  • @superluminalthought The degree programs are shit because half the time, you're doing redundant work that really has nothing to do with a career or what your "creative" interests are in. It's just an illusion to make you think College is all about your dreams when it's just to take your money. On textbooks alone!

  • @Neofcon People can major in anything they want. I don't want to end liberal arts programs, but students also need to be realistic. Colleges have also been dumbed down a lot in just the last twenty years. (Just look at how many students have 4.0 GPAs.) Society was better off when only 10% of the population (or less) went to college. College degrees used to be difficult to earn. No more. A law degree has less value to me than a degree in art.

  • only slaves work hard.

    the rich work smart. hell, they dont even work.

  • These corporations wants cheap labor because they know that the American people demands more of themselves such as benefits or unions and they don't want to deal with that.

  • American Dream; More Like A Fantasy...

  • @ssohood2011 I bet you have credit problems.

  • american dream brings corruption. its all about greed lust and luxury

  • The reason the "dollar" says F.R.Note is because "Note" means debt and every "dollar" you spend makes you belong to the fourth branch of government, the secret branch.

  • People can only pull themselves up by the bootstrap in an UNREGULATED society. When you have laws preventing people from making their own moves, starting their own business etc there is no way you can overcome unless you revolt.

  • Jewish Dream

  • God Bless that the fact that I wasn't born in America.

  • America has had its day, just like the Roman Empire did.

  • @Lookup2Wakeup

    You are spot on. Every empire has its hey-day.

  • American dreams is earth dream given by jews..

  • What is the American dream, I never understood it. Dont all human want that? Why call it American?

  • Carlin was right: "Its called the amerikan dream because you have to be asleep to believe it."

  • the American screem

  • i live in norway and i do not want to get out of here.. free healthcare and education is just too valuable for me

  • @tERtasdf norway ???

    norway you cant compared with usa

    norway is a city in scandinavia hahaahah

  • @HALILYILMAZ2010 my town is bigger than yours or canada

  • @tERtasdf no no my dear my town is bigger than whole norway

    15 millions

    3/4 times norway :-)))))))))))))))

  • @HALILYILMAZ2010 nope, if norway would win against your town in a rope pulling competition in no problems

  • @tERtasdf

    Small population large GDP from oil = high standard of living. - Enjoy!

  • @tERtasdf <3 Norway. Best country to live in, just like Sweden Germany Denmark and The Netherlands. = ]

    Greetings from The Netherlands.

  • @WGutjens What's the population of the Netherlands, 17-18 million? What is the population of the U.S.? 310 million, slight difference there. Now go make your cheese and grow your tulips (and weed! - LOL)

  • @Crimble67 Righttt. Nice to see you being so ignorant.

    Im sure you are not even aware that without The Netherlands your country would still the UK's bitch colony. Without help from the Dutch and the French it would be the end of the resistance, because only after we joined, your rebellion started to win.

    And i know, the truth hurts, so i'm sure you feel very sad now, since your little dream/anything you knew turned out to be untrue XD poor you

  • @WGutjens AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! No, I literally laughed out loud when I read your response. And I thought it was only the French who needed to go back over 200 years to pull some shit out of their ass as a justification for their arrogance. I actually lived in Germany for two years and visited your country several times and thoroughly enjoyed myself each time, I guess there are a few bad apples in every bunch though!

  • @Crimble67 Rightttt okay. It's the americans always saying: But we freed europe from Nazi germany.

    Funny thing is, they didn't free us in their own. Russia/USSR contributed the most to the war of all other nations combined. Without the USSR, europe would be under Nazi Control.

    So don't pet your own head too much either. Since your nation has NEVER won a war without help from any other nation. So you're not that great at warfare either.

    It's a shame you're too much in coma to have a brain. :(

  • @WGutjens O.K. knucklehead (gloves are now off) I never brought up WW II, you did, so here goes. I'm a historian of WW II and I always tell people the U.S. played a support role in the European theater and that the Soviets inflicted 80% of Germany's losses, however the U.S. did pour enormous amounts of material into England AND Russia in the early stages of the war. The U.S. DID play the decisive role in the Pacific theater against the Japanese, accounting for 90% of their casualties

  • @Crimble67 Blah blah blah blah blah. That's all i hear. Facts that i know already but shamefully you're mixing them up with trying to make yourself (or your nation) look like the savior of the world. Thats a shame. Since you did put in some facts which i like very much that you do

    I'm not going to continue this discussing since 1 it's off topic and 2 it's childish and pointless.

    You're unable to face anything factual that's hurtful to your country. Thats why it's pointless. You're close minded

  • @WGutjens Oh, so you admit that the U.S. WAS responsible for the defeat of Japan after you said that the U.S. doesn't have any military prowess, I knew I was talking to a FILTHY marxist, they always twist everything inside out. To use a California colloquialism, dude, you are a fucking dick!

  • @Crimble67 Righhtttt so using facts = marxist. Then i'm glad i'm marxist.

    The US doesn't have a lot of military power. Without the french and dutch the USA wouldn't exist. Without the russians WW2 wasn't won by the other Allied forces. Who knows what would have happened if the americans weren't too barbaric to throw nukes on innocent people killing over 150.000 innocent people. I'm sure the americans would cry a river if they were nuked.

    Eitherway, you're just a child and close minded.

  • @Crimble67 Therefore argueing with you is useless since you're unable to face the facts and truths. If you're not then thats your problem not mine. Besides you don't even know what a marxist is i am sure.

  • @WGutjens AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! OWNED!

  • @WGutjens Probably a zionist to boot!

  • @WGutjens How do you know with 100% certainty that you are conversing with a marxist? They respond by saying, "you don't even know what a marxist is." Happens all the time! - LOL

  • @Crimble67 LOL Funny troll be funny! XD

  • @WGutjens Jawohl Herr Oberst!

  • @Crimble67 Your profile is funny btw. Since it says the exact things i mention. So you're trolling someone who's like minded as you on the subjects? Amazing.... >.>

    Apperantly you support Ron Paul aswell? Think the same about the banks etc?

    You are a bit weird... to troll me for thinking the same things as you >.>

  • @WGutjens Politics makes for interesting bed fellows! - Ahahahahahahahahaha

  • @WGutjens Cont. from below, so if it weren't for the U.S. Japan would have been successful in THEIR bid to dominate Asia as well as Australia. Admiral Yamamoto knew the U.S. would defeat Japan if the war wasn't won with a knock out blow at the outset, which they didn't accomplish. How did he know this? He had traveled thoroughly in America and had seen the industrial might for himself which Japan could never compete against long term. America's industry has been gutted by globalism

  • Get a job son! The bums lost!

    Like gingrinch ever had a job.

  • American Dream=Sell your soul

  • the intellects warned Americans that this would happen for decades.

    3rd world people build 3rd world societies

  • The only American Dream I know of is Dusty Rhodes.

  • @eraffel LOL

  • There never was such a thing as the American Dream same as Canada has never truly become its own independent nation. Just look at our currency today for starters. They call it a dream because it brings hope to reach financial prosperity and to gain national and international followers. It is nothing more than a 'sales pitch' to bring slaves to America and give its own nation a sense of false hope.

  • whats even funnier is people are chasing paper, its not real, just digits on a screen, and if you have any smarts, you know numbers are infinite, so hows they a debt?

  • the american dream, world dream has already been snapped up, theres was 10trillion its been shared between the fat 5 leaving nothing for the other 7billion people on the planet, all because the fat 5 are playing some redundant game of who can earn the most in a now (yr) with spending as likkle as possible.

  • 4 trillions in war debts, 600billions per year military spending, 3billions per year to Israel.. when education & hospitalization should be regulated and heavily subsidized.. keep dreaming and wait for others to change your fate.. i hope your congress and your president would care..

  • Good report

  • I had a dream about America the other day, best part was waking up.
