When I was in grade school, right here in the United States of America, I was taught that our country was the &ldquo;land of opportunity&rdquo;. My teachers told me that my country was special, because anyone with a good idea and a drive to do good work could make a living, and be successful too. They called it the &ldquo;American Dream&rdquo;.
