Pay for a trade will be less in rural areas compared to urban.
Yes, but COL can eat up much of the gains. I can do fine on 14/hr in rural Michigan, where property taxes are practically nothing, insurance is cheap, you can grow your own food, etc. You sure aren't living a life of luxury on 50K where I live. Basically, in each situation, you are getting by without much issue. Depending on the trade, migrant laborers are killing wages in the city as well, while they haven't collected in large numbers in many rural parts of the country.

I was just pointing it out. It all depends on the specific area really.
Sure, we'll bail out your mortgage and just pass the cost along to the wealthy.

Maybe the american dream didn't "die". Perhaps it just evolved to the tastes of different people. To some it's rising up the ranks of the corporate ladder. To others it's doing what they love. To still others it's having a family or owning a nice house.
I believe the new american dream is to quit your job and punch your boss in the face. At least that's my dream.
Why would you want to physically assault the person who gave you a means to support yourself? If this is the American dream, than it's no wonder all the jobs are leaving the country.
The American Dream is dead only if you say it is dead. It's all too easy to give up, call it quits and leave your destiny up to the so called 5%'er. That's not for me. What a bunch of whiners. You guys sound like modern day peasants working for a feudal lord trudging to and from work without an original thought in you head. Grow some stones, stand up for your heritage, make the signers of the Declaration of Independence proud to have done so! Economic depression is NOT about money, it's about mindset. You get what you put your attention to. If you say we've gone to hell in a hand basket, then we have. If you say there are still ways to live the American Dream then there are ways. The choice is up to you. Choose wisely.

Ever had a job? I get what your saying, but it isn't unheard of nowadays to get fired after 20 years because your "too old" or they just want someone younger who they can pay 1/5 of the pay. I wouldn't suggest punching your boss, but when you get screwed out of your job for no reason punching your boss might come to mind.
They keep micro-managing where I work. It is beyond ridiculous. Our manager can't do anything anymore because she is so micro-managed.
