I would say the American dream is the opposite of what they say in this video? The american dream is about freedom to work yourself up and have success. The freedom in the dream is low taxes, so that you are rewarded as much as possible for your hard work. The dream says, everybody has potential and talent, and EVERYBODY can have success and achieve the dream if they work hard enough. As for the poor, the dream would say that it is their own fault, they have not exploited their potential.
The Great Depression had the same thing with the few reaping huge amounts of cash while everyone else did without.
The difference between then and now is back then they didn't have a "middle class" so when you went down you hit rock bottom.
Republicans want us to return to the days of having NOTHING to fall back on while seeing to it the wealthy are the wealthiest in the entire history of the planet.
The uppermost 25% of Americans own 87% of the wealth and can comfortably sit back watch the politicians they bought "leading" the rest of us in fighting each other for that lucky 13%. God bless Amerika.
I'd like to keep up this friendly little banter with you, but I'm spending time making sure that you and your kind are the irrelevancies you were born to be.
This video is weak as far as getting the message across. How about - in bold text - displaying all the things that the GOP Penthouse Party has done to end the American dream.
@williejenkins666: Don't worry willie, us liberals are used to carrying your types, even if you kick and scream the whole way. We know that there are some who just don't have enough sense to get out of the rain.
@williejenkins666 - yeah, you're a real genius. Betcha you got through junior high school too. Commies? There isn't the slightest tinge of marxism in that ad, just the straight out truth about the Amerikkkan right wing dragging this country into its sewer. You got your number right at least. Ignornance and evil are one and the same and youi demonstrate both.
@williejenkins666 Sorry, I don't get into flame wars with blithering idiots. Why don't you shove your head back up your ass and go about your idiot business?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@MiserableOldFart Shut the fuck up, cocksucker. You clearly are either too stupid to understand or a fucking piece of shit scam artist/liar hiding the truth about the people who support this kind of shit in this video.
The majority of the rabid protesters crying about "democracy" are fucking socialists. Do you not get this? Clearly you lack a fucking brain.
If you are indeed a "Miserable Old Fart", perhaps you should suck on an exhaust pipe or the business end of a pistol. Your choice.
@williejenkins666 I don't STFU for you. As I suggested before, please replug your head into your ass where it came from and leave me alone. This video is 100% accurate as to the destruction of the American dream being perpetrated by the POS Amerikkkan right. It's time you and your kind learned that you are not going to get away with it. Trust me, you are not.
@MiserableOldFart You will STFU because your words are only accepted by like-minded sheep. The people in control of you LOL at how pathetic people are that they buy into their scam.
The "American Dream" has become burdened with 100 years of government intervention and a giant bureaucratic nightmare to do anything.
You are worth less than the shit on the shoes of the post office worker who wandered through my neighbors yard and hit a landmine.
@williejenkins666 I suddenly realized how wrong I was about you. You are not an ignorant ass hole, and you are better than me. You are the best person ever born in the history of the world. OK? That make you feel better sunshine? Now will you please stop sending me emails? You're going to make me cry if you don't.
@jamie1707 I never sent you one email. Do you know what email is? It is when someone uses your email address like your gmail account (stupidwh0resuxtons0cock at hotmail), and sends you a message from their email account like mine (ikillallkindsofass at gmail).
I might have made a comment on your facebook page about you being a cocksucker or something...oops. You actually would take that as a compliment being you are gay and all. So I must have said something else.
@williejenkins666 "The majority of the rabid protesters crying about "democracy" are fucking socialists. Do you not get this? Clearly you lack a fucking brain."
Ever notice the people who rail the loudest against Socialism are anti-Social?

Are these the folks who created the economic problems? I think not, yet they are the ones targeted by our corporate owned Gov....Tax the rich and the "creators of the economic meltdown" Make the ones who caused and prospered from this economy pay up!
The Elephant, the Ass, and the Marionette Child King of the Bent Line, sit at the Table of Doubt, arguing over who will control the Golden Goose, which they slaughtered, together, sometime ago, to provide a feast for themselves and their masters. They produce nothing, except the hopeless expectation that, what they are doing, will mean something, or do anything... at all. And the Zookeepers smile, knowing their trap is set, and their plan is sure.
Problem is, it's not just the republicans anymore. The Wallstreet democrats are just as bad: Obama, hillary, kerry, need to be shown the door. There are a handful of true liberals left in the democratic party (Kucinich, Sanders, Lee), but for the most part both parties have been corrupted by money in politics.
It is immoral for the Tea Party and the Republicans to "balance" the budget cutting social services for the elderly, veterans, health, education, hancicapped, retirees...and NOT ending with the TAX BREAKS for the Big Corporations. That was a gift from Bush to Halliburton, Chevron, Exxon, etc etc they DO NOT PAY corporate taxes, they used to pay and we received billions in taxes You pay, and I pay ahy dont they pay? Shame on the Tea Party and the Republican Party Shame on them
I'm sick and tired of this "middle class" talk. We're all in this together. There are plenty of people, children and adults who are poor at one time or another but with a hand up they can get out of poverty and always do. The class-talk is divisive and not what we need now, we all need to come together to work against the plutocracy of the rich and multi-national corporations.
@Ratstarification Class matters - because the Upper-Class has been fighting and winning a class war for the last three decades. Yes the middle-class and the poor are in it together - so maybe we just call us all the under-class - because if you are anything but rich the system is #$%#$ you!
@Ratstarification Class matters - because the Upper-Class has been fighting and winning a class war for the last three decades. Yes the middle-class and the poor are in it together - so maybe we just call us all the under-class - because if you are anything ut rich the system is #$%#$ you!
The Republicans don't have to worry about the American Dream anymore. They're all fat cats and have nifty pensions. They lost their hearts and souls a long time ago. They all need to go back and read the "Picture of Dorian Gray"
the American dream is the opportunity to make a better life for yourself and your family without government getting in your way. The progressives have been slowly killing the American dream for almost 100 years.
@possibledrew They are not accusations, and even though Washington himself was a rich man -- he did not intend for this country to belong exclusively to rich men. If he's turning in his grave, it's because he hates it when fake-ass "patriots" invoke his name to score a soft political point for their misanthropic value system.
The American dream only makes sense if you are sleeping.
