The Great American Dream...

[JohnnyRingo]

...Is to most of us is a stable job, owning a modest home and a late model car. We are willing to work for it.

The American Dream to a republican is moving from millionaire to billionaire, crushing our meager dreams to get there.

1. The American dream was decimated in 1980 with the election of Reagan. His anti-union,

trickle-down economics, and the intentional bringing of religion into politics. Now 50 years later we are continuing to reap the results. Just like the civil rights movement turned the entire South from BLUE to RED, the current populism trend has led to the largest inequality in our history.

The only cure is for people to unite against this effort by the GOP to divide the country in order to stay in power. We are truly all in the mess together and the sooner we unite against it the sooner things get better or do nothing and expect the same results.

2. Well stated.

I one I survive long enough to see us become the United States again. Put that on a red hat.
