30. Is the American Dream still alive today? Yes

1) 40-58 (47)

2) Self-Employed

3) White

4) Jewish

5) Male

6) No longer... prices of the basics are out of reach, real estate is grossly inflated in many regions, and we have too many illegal workers and free-loaders in this country.

7) For Americans and LEGAL immigrants

8) Very... I've worked for 30 years to get where I am, to get my family where we are.

9) Yes, I believe it is part of it - the ability to earn it through honest work and to hold onto it for purchases and retirement

10) Working from graduation until retirement... pay-raises and advancement for hard, honest work... at least equal to inflation and cost-of-living. Buying a home when you have the money, raising a family and passing on a better life.

11) To me, yes.

12) Depends on ones ability to feed and clothe them (we have two, I was one of four)

13) To me it is KEY... education should result in higher wages

14) To me it shouldn't matter... look how well some Asian and Indian families are doing !!

15) I don't think it matters

16) Matters less than it did in the 50's... roles have certainly changed

17) Agree

18) Agree

19) Strongly Disagree (my Dad was a poor orphan who put himself through college to a PhD)

21) Disagree

22) It is essential... the ability to move upward in class, job, etc.

23) I think the American Dream has changed a bit from generation to generation

24) I think that it is in danger due to foolish goals of getting EVERYONE into home-ownership when they simply couldn't afford it, and the incredible increase in advanced education costs.

25) YES... those who reach it can retire and open their position to 2-3 younger workers

26) If there aren't jobs and wide-spread opportunities to advance, the AD doesn't exist

27) At the moment... NO - We're in a frozen economy and not looking good towards resolution. We've sold too many of our jobs overseas or to illegal labors.

28) See answer 25-27... politics - coddling Unions and Corporations have a) over-priced lower wage industries and made them untenable, and b) allowed all those jobs to be shipped overseas, but allowed the corporations to profit from that.

29) Reasonably priced higher education, hard daily work, an intact family, advancement in work and living conditions, and retirement

30) It's on life support for the vast majority of Americans
