The American Dream, did it ever really exist for those on the bottom rung of the ladder? Some could say that we (my wife and I) have achieved it, but I did not start at the bottom. Admittedly I made less money here at the beginning than I had been earning in Canada, but in the long haul we did all right. But the expression "Only in America" can be taken many ways, some of them make me want to hum a few bars of 'Jingo Bells".
