The Preposterous American Dream Employers in our country today are extremely deranged for trying to make their employees live up to this preposterous thing referred to as the american dream. The American Dream is hard for low wage workers to achieve because of the way that employers treat them, other people treat them and they can not support themselves off of their income alone. This so called “American Dream” is the ideal that every United States citizen should have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative. The American Dream is not humanly possible for low wage workers to achieve off of one job alone.

Neil Diamond’s song “Coming to America” is welcoming immigrants of the 1920’s-1950’s.
Research revolving around the effect of money on happiness is simple to find, given the multitude of papers on the subject. Despite this as a nation, and as individuals, we find it hard to let go of the concept that money could and will solve all our problems.

For a great amount of United States citizens know about the American Dream, and everyone set it as their life target. The American Dream is a national known character of the United States, the main ideas are the focus on democracy, rights, liberty, opportunity, and equality. The American Dream is about freedom that includes the opportunity for success and prosperity for family and children in the society, through hard work. The American Dream is tied to the Declaration of Independence, which claims the point “all men are created equal” with the right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” The American Dream is not about how rich you are it is about the environment where people were born or position that they stand.
