Heard a few weeks back that the US is no longer the land of opportunity. It's much easier to rise up and out of poverty elsewhere--in other "first world" nations--than it is in the US.
What makes America different from everyone else--beyond the money, power, and making sales & marketing a true art form--is that it still retains a youthful exuberance. By world power standards, the US is a young country, and much of its population still believes it is the greatest country in the world.
That was one man's opinion...
