As cliche as it may sound, the key to America's success is the "American Dream." As long as the dream is alive, the US will be OK. My parents immigrated in 1992 with 2 small kids, little to no English and no money. Fast forward to today- they own a business, 3 homes, have put both kids through undergrad (I've gone on to complete a masters) and have achieved a fairly comfortable upper middle class lifestyle.

Why am I telling you this? As long as "the little guy" believes that if you're intelligent and willing to work hard, you can achieve great things in America (in many places around the world this is not always the case), this country has a future. I for one, believe in the American dream and am willing to work hard to live it and preserve it for generations to come.
