Dear Friends,

For over two centuries, America has stood as the land of opportunity and freedom around the world. It has been a place where anyone, regardless of background or circumstance, can rise above challenges and become successful and independent with hard work and perseverance. This freedom to live self-sufficiently and work as one chooses has yielded prosperity and flourishing throughout the United States for generations.

Unfortunately, many politicians in Washington today would prefer for Americans to forget this original version of the American dream. In fact, they're actively trying to put more roadblocks on the path to individual success. Consider the graphic the White House recently released to advertise the massive Democrat spending bill, which they've called the Build Back Better Act.

Various scenes of these two people include descriptions of the different government programs that will assist them as their lives progress and needs change. The graphics herald free education, grants, union jobs, and other measures that will supposedly help Linda and Leo get ahead in life. But I hope you see the underlying assumption in this imagined scenario -- that success depends on government intervention and assistance.
