The Ameerican Dream

I am sick and tired of hearing political phonies stating that they want to change America and make it better for the average person. Just this morning I heard Rick Scott who is running as a Tea Party candidate for the office of Governor of Florida. He then goes on to spout his credits explaining how he started off life coming from a working class family, worked his way up and became CEO of a large hospital corporation, earning millions along the way. It is important to him that his children and grandchildren have the same opportunity and therefore “change America.” Change? It’s still the place that he accomplished all that he did. Why change it? Seems like if they think and work as he did that the opportunity is there.

The American Dream is still available for those who want to earn it. Just look at all the new multi-millionaires of the last five or ten years.
