The Death of the American Dream

I can remember growing up, how hard my father worked to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. He was a soldier, a farmer, a husband and a wonderful father. He taught all of us true American Values, and he also taught us to stand on our own two feet.

While it has never been easy, it has been worth all of the hard work. The sad truth is, that more and more Americans can't even find work and there fore can't work towards the American Dream. In the past couple of decades our Presidents and Representatives in Congress have let American Business move out of this country and by their actions have hurt the American Citizen.

We hear all about the Global Economy and Global Business but we don't hear about the profits made by American Companies in countries like China. Why, because American Companies don't have to report their profits from foreign countries. Let's be real, it's always been about greed, and the over all bottom line.

They pay foreign workers a pittance and have taken away the American Dream from the citizens of this country. We are supposed to understand and not feel outraged at the lose of jobs, foreclosures, increasing numbers on the welfare rolls. It's okay that we can't feed our families or keep a roof over our families head.

The American Worker needs to be active in politics. We need to make our voices heard. We have to stay strong and exercise our right to vote. If you don't want to live in a socialistic country it is time to remember who we are and that this is our country. The American Dream is dying a slow death and with it goes our country, formerly known as America.
