I don't believe that the American Dream is over...in fact, it couldn't be farther from the truth. The protests being covered are from the left wing media who want the government to take care of them instead of getting off their lazy butts and working for a better life. Americans have forgotten what JFK said, when he said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." Contrary to your article, demonstrations are to take place on April 15th, to tell our government to stop the unneccessary spending that Barack Obama and his democrats in congress and the senate are doing. We, as a nation, want Americans to succeed, by hard work, entreprenuership,etc. We are tired of dolling out the dollars to those that are too lazy to go out and make a good living for themeselves. We are tired of supporting illegal immigrants with our hard earned tax dollars. NO, the American dream is not over. Far from it. The problem is that the left wing media reports on what they want to report on, not on the TRUTH! Obama took his first stimulus package, over 1000 pages of this bill and gave those in congress very little time to read it. That stimulus money went back to those who supported him for his election, the union workers, and the people who voted for him not on his merits, but his charisma. Americans are waking up and taking to the streets to try to stop this ridiculous spending spree he has gone on. Only the lazy, the hard left, and the radicals are the ones getting the coverage in our biased media. For the most part, Americans want to achieve great financial success through hard work, not government handouts. The national bank, ( the bank set up explicitly for the house and senate) had to close for a brief period of time due to bad check writing by our own government. How can they expect Americans to support their agenda in wanting to take over privately owned businesses, when they cannot even balance thier own checkbook. It's a disgrace and the American Revolution is on it's way! We believe in capitalism as a whole, that's what has made this country great. We don't need politicians who cannot even take care of their own personal finances to do it for us. As an example, our own treasury secretary, Tim Geithner, hadn't even paid his own taxes. The Obama administration is a disgrace to America. His recent overseas trip was nothing but apologizing for America. We have nothing to apologize for. It was also a disgrace that he bowed to the Saudi King. America bows to no one! We are proud, and we are strong, and we plan to take America back to the great country it once was.
