work once, get paid forever

Did you ever find it interesting that we American whine and complain while immigrants prosper. Many don't have the language mastered, let alone the culture. But they have a mission and they quietly go about it each day.

The American Dream has changed through the decades and now today the younger citizens want no part of their parents paycheck to paycheck struggles. They are a generation of entrepreneurs that don't want to trade in their time for a Friday paycheck. One of them told me that he wants to work once and get paid forever. In fact, that was his definition of leverage.

Smart marketing companies have seized on this phenomenon, like the big "A" that was a quick star. This is not your grandma's American way.

What about our forefathers and fore-mothers? Did they risk their very lives and everything they owned to come to the land of promise for coffee breaks and paid vacations?

So blogger buddies, what's the answer ? How do we get to plenty to live and plenty to give in America?
