The American Dream is about the ability to pursue happiness and better oneself and others. If people work hard, they should be able to climb the economic and social ladder. That’s why America earned the moniker the “Land of Opportunity.”
As more people begin to lose faith in the American Dream, policy leaders must get to work on solutions that restore social mobility, especially to those who need it most.
Low-income Americans find themselves ensnared in the safety net, stranded by benefits cliffs. Structural flaws keep them from getting ahead and becoming independent. Our nation’s welfare policies should encourage work and family formation. Every American should experience dignity in work and the power of creating value for others.
