I wonder what these people think "the American Dream" really means. A little house with internet, a smart phone, enough to eat and money to go out once in awhile? Really? Is that what our Founding Fathers pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to achieve?

I don't think so.

I don’t mean to start an argument...really, I don’t...but what does the “American Dream” mean to you?

To me, it means being able to own my own home with some land.
It means not having to worry about paying the bills because I have a job that allows me to make enough money to pay them all.
It means having the ability to take vacations and travel anywhere we want to-because we can afford to and because we are free to go anywhere we want.
It means being able to express an opinion and not have to go to jail because of it.
That’s just some of it...at least, how I view it.
