Depending on whom you ask, anywhere between two-thirds and three-fourths of the American public believe that the American Dream is dead. I know for a fact that they are mistaken because my own family came to this country -- legally -- almost 40 years ago. We went from literally eating out of dumpsters because we had so little money to now, where my dad has his own successful tailoring business (he once did the tailoring for New Kids on the Block) and I've built a business empire that gives me freedom of lifestyle and the freedom to support my favorite causes.
