No one has gotten it yet. It is the one word that allows for all the frivolous things that have been listed as answers to this question. Reading the answers posted so far makes it obvious why the U.S. is in trouble: people don't even know what she stands for. Shame on us and the schools that didn't teach us what should be easily understood.

Democracy. The idea that all people regardless of creed, color or religious beliefs, may live without fear of persecution. The power is vested within the will of the people-majority rules. Everyone has the ability to be represented in matters of state by electing the legislative body. Although individually we are all very different from one another, everyone who lives here can appreciate the principles that formed the country. That provides unity, and the integrity of our way of life.

Chasing puff the magic dragon which soon turn into smokes and ashes.
Ask Bill Gates and Warren Buffet why are they not keeping all their cash that they had?
When living human kind came into this world with two empty hands and will be leaving with two empty hands on expiry date on planet earth.
Will they be leaving behind their names in the book of records as success in worshiping God in the encyclopaedia or just came and passing by as the has-been in ghostly modern history on planet earth.

the American Dream for corporate USA is to further delocalize business, leave thousands of US jobless, hire cheap labour on the other part of the world, and further increase their profit.
this is called a free market and those how ultimately would pay the price are the middle class us citizens.

Yes, to conquer the world, but not to end there. World domination is merely the stepping stone to expanding our territories to the alien worlds in the universe. We shall install our system of government on them too, by gawd. Do you hear me alien world? Do you? :)

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness! It's your thing--do what you wanna do! I can't tell you, who to sock it too--so long as it legal, acceptable and doesn't violate personnel liberties.
