Remember, America's greatness is based on creating wealth like the rest of the world has never known, and then, making sure it's shared throughout a middle class and even the underprivileged.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
America's greatness is largely because of how we value the weakest among us.
The greatness of America is capitalism, free market capitalism. The exceptionalism of American business.
A strong, educated middle class is what made America the greatest country in the world.
America's wealth comes from the efforts of people striving for success. Take away their incentive with badmouthing success and you take away the wealth that helps us take care of the needy.
Every country has rich people. But only a few places have achieved a vibrant and stable middle class. And in the history of the world, none has been more vibrant and more stable than the American middle class.
From leading the world into the age of democracy to spearheading the technological revolution, America has always been at the forefront of greatness.
Through our own hard work and ingenuity, America has spent much of its history as the world's dominant economic power. But our dominance is not pre-ordained - history does not roll along on the wheels of inevitability.
We tend to admire the people in our society who have accumulated such wealth as to seem somehow great. But we shouldn't forget that it was the everyday working class man who made this country great.
The America I know is great - not because government made it great but because ordinary citizens like me, like my father and like you are given the opportunity every day to do extraordinary things.
America's greatness is not found in the size of its government. America's greatness resides in the hearts and the minds of the people.
