Here, technically speaking, is how the American dream got hijacked early on.
The American dream is ... justice. Justice for each and every one, a rule of law centric democratic republic.
The rule of law that would have properly stemmed from the concept of "unalienable" rights as stated in the Declaration of Independence.
However the "unalienable" concept was changed early by the thinking that went into constitution.
The US eventually became a very wealthy nation and it also became the centre of the global tyranny that is now orchestrated by the insane power-crazed financial elite of this world through their puppets like Obama.
Also the fascist world now under the "American fourth reich" apparently is just a reiteration of the British Empire, what the US tried to free itself from but failed to do ... thus far.
This acticle at the Activist Post breaks down how the Declaration - thus the American dream - got hijacked:

How the Declaration of Independence got Hijacked

This July 4th Americans celebrate their 237th Independence Day. The Declaration of Independence, signed during the midst of the American Revolution in 1776, was not just a statement of grievances against the British monarchy but also a declaration of freedom from it, citing unalienable rights of self-governance. I said un-alienable, not in-alienable rights. Most believe there is no real difference between the two words. But not so fast. When unalienable was replaced with inalienable it diminished the original intention of personal rights; among which are “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

According to Bouvier’s Law Dictionary (1856), the meaning of inalienable starts out much the same as unalienable; but it morphs over time starting with the 1910 definition. Inalienable has evolved to mean rights that can be transferred with the consent of the person having them. If someone consents to transfer their rights, those rights can no longer be considered un-alienable, impossible to transfer, inherent human rights. They become rights “in commerce.”
Maybe you are scratching your head and still saying, so what? Here’s the deal. Inalienable rights (as currently defined) are transferable by one’s consent via contract, which includes the concept “social contract.”
Social contract theory originated with the political philosophy of Plato, was popularized by Thomas Hobbes in the 17th century, and then embedded deep into the concept of the U.S. Constitution and U.S. Government in 1787.
What is it? A social contract is defined as a voluntary agreement people make with their government for mutual benefit. But actually, it is a tacit agreement mostly given unknowingly by the people; the belief being the state only exists to serve the will of the people and therefore the people must give up some rights to assure government can provide them safety and order.
In conclusion, the social contract Americans unwittingly made at the time of the U.S. Constitution has been breached by the undermining of unalienable rights with inalienable rights. Originally considered one’s private property, unalienable rights including all physical property, one’s labor and even privacy (part of liberty) have been unlawfully transferred in commerce to the government via laws, regulation and taxation.
The Declaration of Independence refers to this potential loss of un-alienable rights when it states:
…whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…
The time has come for Declaration 2.0.
