What is the American Dream? The ability to work hard and be rewarded.
That dream has a name and it is class/social mobility. That's something we can measure and the US does not come out well in that measurement.
There are many countries that are much better for class/social mobility than the US. We may be better than the poor (often exploited third world) country that immigrants come here from, but we are not the best by far.
We're not even in the top 20. The World Economic Forum puts us at 27, between Lithuania and Spain.
