END OF THE AMERICAN DREAM: 49% THINK HARD WORK DOESN'T BRING SUCCESS

A new Pew Research survey shows that the number of Americans who consider themselves “lower class” has climbed dramatically in President Obama’s America. More importantly, a full 77 percent of Americans thought it was harder to get ahead now than it was 10 years ago; just 51 percent said hard work bring success.

And this is precisely how Obama wants it.
The American dream is exactly those two principles: first, that in America, hard work results in success; second, that in America, you will leave your children better off than you were.

As a business owner, after hearing NO BAMA giving his little speech about "You didn't build that",,,,makes me really start wondering why am I out there killing myself everyday working sometimes 14-16 hour days to stay afloat. Would almost make sense to go on "welfare" like all the rest here in the US who can stay at home and have money deposited every month in their checking account without all the worries and headaches! Another four years of this socialist in charge of our country will bring us down to where he plans for us to be - dependent on the Government!

Small business is the only thing standing in the way of full out socialism he wants.

Even Cuba, which labels itself proudly as a Socialist country, now allows people to obtain vending permits and sell their wares. These people are making a great deal of money and are doing much better than the rest of the Socialist state. Although this is contrary to socialism the people taking advantage of it are loving it.

Capitalism is not a crime and neither is a free market. Small businesses made this country into what it is today. Buy local, buy from small businesses. Put food on a families table that is working hard for it.

Love this.....Buy Local! So many people will go online to save $15.00 or so. There goes the Buy Local. People now want cheap cheap cheap and would rather support the big box stores instead of small business in the area. I have a business and so often people call me to "pick my brain" for information and then go online to make the purchase to save maybe a few dollars and could care less about buying local. But yet they are the first ones when something goes wrong with their "online purchase", they call me to try to fix it for them....for free! Geesh,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
