'American dream,' or 'Canadian dream?' While I do believe I have a right to earn living wages for my work - sufficient to own a home, pay my bills and save for retirement - I answered 'no' because I believe that the rich and powerful have systematically and knowingly destroyed that future. They have given us nothing but debt in return for our hard work. That and a PR campaign to hide their craven greed. Half this country can't pay their ordinary bills, their mortgage/rent, their education, their utilities - and for some - food. That is outrageous. This country went off the rails a long time ago, but it took an economic depression to force us to realize it isn't the fault of individual people who were lazy, the stupid or the reckless, it has been the systematic destruction of living wages, full-time work and the out-of-control escalation of living costs over the past 30 years, that hit a breaking point in 2008. Both parties completely are guilty of creating this disaster. They serve nobody but their corporate campaign contributors. Fools who believe either party or the nonsense spewed by corporate media only compound the problem. To those who would say 'stop whining', 'go get a job' or 'get an education', need to get a clue. Either they care about nobody but themselves, or are as guilty as the politicians and corporations for this disaster. Either way, there's nothing 'American' about their miserable attitude and beliefs. Its just selfishness and greed wrapped in a flag.
