the Boss

What is the American Dream? In its original context, the American Dream could be summed up as "opportunity." Opportunity fulfilled, and sometimes unfulfilled, afforded all citizens of the United States regardless of race, sex or ethnicity to strive for a goal, whose reward was, in most cases, defined in material terms, a higher income, a house, a fancy car, etc. Innovation and hard work were required and the laborer, if successful, was allowed to keep his reward. Success was never guaranteed nor should it have been.

Enter Obama. He would alter the definition. Obama would not define the dream as the opportunity, but rather as the reward. And, since the American Dream is afforded all citizens, he would then surmise the reward should be shared by all, regardless of their contribution to the achievement thereof (Sounds a bit like socialism/communism.). The effect is that creativity, innovation and hard work are discouraged and the greatness of our country is diminished as a result. Why should I labor if my reward will be taken from me and given to others? Why should I labor if I am entitled to someone else's reward? In either case, incentive is gone and productivity (the wealth of a nation) declines.

Obama will rob from the rich (the innovators, creators, laborers) and give to the "poor." One need only consider his tax policies to realize this. The purpose while seemingly noble, will in actuality prove to be just another nail in America's coffin.
