Simple yet complex? What is the American Dream that everyone is talking about? Having money? Having a big desk job where you're some CEO or some important dude? Being the president? Or is it having a job? being able to support your family? Escaping a warzone or some dangerous area? What is it?

What is your American Dream?

What is your American Dream?

Leaving America.

There should be an European dream:

"European dream, less bs, more progress, less America."

Oh yea, back in the old days, America was a dream land (for money). Oil, monopolies, less regulations and easy business. But now, you seriously need to do some horrible things to become rich, or be lucky.

I very much doubt I will ever go to America, let alone for a dream.
It sounds quite horrible with all the talk that goes around. Cheap(er) games and cheap(er) movies are about the only bonuses I can see going to America.
(And visiting the theme parks )

It wasn't pretty back then, either. Easy business back then was flooded with crime.

Honestly, I don't know who came up with the whole 'American Dream' thing. As far as I know, I think all it refers to is the whole suburban lifestyle kinda thing. You know, Home ownership, a new car, two kids, a green lawn with a sprinkler and a job you commute to forth and back.
I don't really know if I have an American dream, but I do know that I'm fine where I am.

"European dream, less bs, more progress, less America."

What makes Europe so dreamy?

Not all of Europe is "dreamy". But some places have less bs and more progress then most parts of the world, like I said.

By parts I mean countries. And you're going to give me an example of parts of America (under American law and government) that isn't bs, right?

Sorry that the same size of land is one nation instead of thirty.

Since you're expecting it, I'll assume you know they're already there and I suppose I won't?

Um, sorry for my stupidity here, but I don't understand what you wrote...

Nothing to do with size. Different countries have different politics, ideology, people...and so on.

"And the cherry on top, taxes that are through the roof!"

If you want somewhere that isn't BS, go to Antarctica. It has no government, and no country claims any significant portion of it.

Government and politicians are the BS in the world, not any one country.

Without government, there would be no America and thus no "American Dream" (an illusion people reach for out of faith). Governments are created to provide a sense of peace and security, not wholly act as a tyrannical oligarchy.
