THE AMERICAN DREAM is fading. "Like an old photograph from a Polaroid instant camera, it is slowly disintegrating."

This is where we have come in this country. It is now a better option to take a lower paying job, rent a home or live with mom and take government benefits than it is to climb up the ladder to success.... It is a sad fact that a head of a household of four making minimum wage has more disposable income than a family making $60,000 a year.

Our entitlement society is out of control.
