Thirty years of the dominance of the Reagan reactionary movement has reduced Americans to sniveling serfs hoping that crumbs will drop to their feet from the bountiful tables of their "betters". That is the legacy of trickle down economics, endless foreign military adventurism that matches anything envisioned by George Orwell, and the ascendancy of the rights of corporations over those of individuals.
Americans no longer dream big dreams.
The American dream is no longer a home with a picket fence and a dog in the yard.
The American dream is no longer a better future for our children and our grandchildren.
