Our great country was founded on the idea that freedom leads to prosperity — the American dream. This country gives you the opportunity to live the life you dream because with hard work, anything is possible. And for centuries, the American dream has been rooted in the idea of family. A soldier returning home from battle might dream of getting married and starting a family. A hardworking married couple might dream of saving enough to buy a home for their children. When individuals are asked, “What is the most important source of meaning to your life?” time and time again the answer is “family.” But as Democrats continue to push their vision of a cradle-to-grave entitlement society where the government is now a part of your family, the American dream shrinks. And as the American dream shrinks, the American family feels the pressure.
Threats to the American family are knocking on the front doors of homes across the nation as the Left becomes focused on telling the American people what they want, rather than listening to what they need. Parents need safe neighborhoods to raise children, gainful employment to support their families, and an education system that provides sons and daughters with the opportunity for success. What they are getting is another page out of the Democrats’ same, tired playbook with more mandates, excessive regulations, increased subsidies, and higher taxes.
