ONN: American Dream Declared Dead As Final Believer Gives Up
American Dream Declared Dead As Final Believer Gives Up
The last vestige of the American Dream slipped away as a Pennington, IL resident quietly laid aside his hope of owning a bar & grill.
Rightardia agrees. Florida senator Marco Rubio started up the American dream crap and now the Democratic party has adopted it.
Even the Tea Party is sceptical about the American Dream described in high school text books.
Nearly two-thirds of working Americans (65%) believe the American Dream is a somewhat or very realistic goal for their family.
However, this optimism is being tested by great economic distress and anxiety.
A majority of americans (52%) believe it is at least somewhat likely that someone in their family will lose their health insurance in the next year—and even more (58%) think it is likely that someone in their family will lose their job.
Additionally, two-thirds (65%) believe that with the way things are going now, it will be harder for the next generation to achieve the American Dream.
