HI everyone I am writing a paper about the “American Dream” and part of that paper is on what the ideas of OWS are in regards to the “American Dream”. So what is the “American Dream” to you? (I am ok with long answers!) Thanks!
Here's mine:

But it's an American and a world dream
My American dream is building up my small business to a large manufacturing plant and giving more of my community jobs.
Mine is being able to have a nice house, a yearly vacation and plenty of food on the table for the fam.
Nothing insane, just comfortable. I think we have gotten too wrapped up in the material meaning of "success"
