A Love Letter to America
The latest book by Pierre A. Kandorfer reveals an open secret of our life. The secret of the American spirit. It is titled “A Love Letter to America” and is written by somebody who loved the American Dream when he was still in a High School in Europe decades ago. In my vision of the American Dream, America is the only place where a poor, helpless “nobody” had a chance to live a decent life or even to become a millionaire. America appeared to us Europeans as the only society where anybody could generate his own fortune following the American spirit, this is with hard work, proper self-discipline, and limitless determination. Only in America, we were told as kids, such things are possible, and we believed that deeply. At the end of WW2, we did not have to look far-away for the proof. At that time, everything good came from America. The US rescued us from Hitler’s tyranny, fed us, helped us politically and economically to survive the terrible aftereffects of the war. What has been totally forgotten, America also gave the war-ravaged European countries, especially Germany, the vision and practical help to establish their own democratic political systems. At that time, the US Constitution was considered the ideal form of people-oriented government form. I still remember the enthusiasm of my High School teacher praising everything American. Pierre Kandorfer is a veteran journalist with thirty-five years of a media background. He wrote thousands of articles, hundreds of TV programs, and a dozen books such as “You Don’t Know Who You Really Are,” “No More Doubt – Science Confirms the Bible,” “Whom Can We Still Trust,” “Fight Back Manual,” “Find Peace of Mind or Lose Your Mind,” in addition to some media textbooks. Pierre’s books are available at NeverGiveUpYourDream.US Amazon and other booksellers

The American Dream has much deeper roots. The
grand vision is rooted in the Declaration of
Independence, proclaiming that “all men are created
equal with their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness.” For most immigrants, the icon of the
American Dream is the Statue of Liberty.
In any society based on these principles, an individual
can live life to its fullest as he or she defines it. The
US also grew mostly as a nation of immigrants,
creating a nation where becoming an American and
passing that citizenship to your children didn't require
being a child of an American.
The American Dream promises freedom and equality
in all decisions affecting our life. This is a symbol of
financial success and independence, and it means the
ability to control one’s own dwelling place instead of
being subject to the whims of a landlord.
Owning a business and being one's own boss also
represents the American Dream. Additionally, access
to education and healthcare are proclaimed as
elements of the Dream.
The sociologist Emily S. Rosenberg identifies five
major components of the American Dream:
• The belief that other nations should replicate
the vision of the American Dream.
• The faith in a free-market economy.
• The support of free-trade agreements and
direct foreign investment.
