The End of the American Dream
Posted 11-28-2014 at 02:20 PM by Happy in Wyoming
The die was cast March 4th, 1933 at the moment when Franklin Roosevelt was inaugurated as president.
The atmosphere of opportunity has been continually poisoned since. Business restrictions, erosion of freedom, and needless wars have destroyed the America our forefathers knew. When there's no longer an America there can no longer be an American Dream.
A few saw it early. In 1936 his vicepresident, John Nance Garner, refused to run with him again; Al Smith, Democratic candidate for president in 1928, effectively walked away from the Democratic Party for the rest of his life.
The American Dream isn't just a catch phrase; it's the life Americans once lived.
