One more little thing: immigrants are coming here with $20 bucks to their name, washing cars, or driving them, or cleaning windows, or doing lawn, or being engineers, or whatever. They talk about the American Dream.
$130k is an offensive number to call the Dream.
- pessimizer 12y agoLess offensive than an immigrant washing a car being called the American dream.
- hyperliner 12y agoI did not call that scenario the American Dream, but it is a scenario of people fighting to achieve it.
- inimini 12y agoIf I went from washing cars in Bangladesh to washing cars in the US, I would call it my American Dream. For a lot of immigrants, simply being in the US is the American Dream. And as long as their quality of life keeps improving, the Dream lives on.
