These 40 stories about America might seem like everyday news for Americans, but for those in other countries, they could be a total surprise. The negative talk about America by Americans should set the record straight about the "American Dream," but unfortunately, it hasn't.
This isn't to say that America isn't thriving compared to other less fortunate countries, but America isn't all it's made out to be, and the people living there aren't always excited to be there, and clearly for good reason.
