Question 2

The opportunity to be prosperous, even rich.  This is the dream which has persisted since the early 1800s.

I used to think owning your own home, now I'm not so sure.

Happiness - ability to be happy through good and bad times

Freedom

All of the above. I dream big!

Originally it was Opportunity, now not so sure.

Too many people are paying the price for others lack of ethics.  All too often our current system of government is rewarding those who choose not to work, or those who are manipulating the systems that were put in place to protect people from economic disaster.  However, today we are seeing more and more the rewards going to those who are abusing the system.  This is not an incentive to work hard or invest in the "dream" that is more now a Mirage than a possibility for a hard working, honest person. I am blessed with a good life, others should have that same opportunity without the fear of unethical people and businesses taking that away.

Liberty and Security.  You can't have one without the other.

Money driven and egocentric opportunity

The American Dream means owning a house and spending money - not much of a dream if you ask me, very lame.

I fear that 'equality' (as in equal before the law) has been redefined as lowest common denominator and removed any attempt at meritocracy
