"In today’s bleak economy, it is good to remember that there are still countless energetic youths in America who will work hard and sacrifice to achieve their dreams. In this so-called “rags-to-riches” tale, the once-homeless 18-year old Dawn Loggins has been accepted to Harvard University on a partial scholarship after, among other things, working as a janitor and taking night classes to get ahead."
The "American Dream" may have been true back in the 1970's but today it's just a scam right wingers use to encourage US voters to give up on unions, and worker's rights, public education.
The OP sneers at social programs that benefit the middle class and refers to it as a "nanny"....When all along these so called "nanny" countries workers are getting ahead, being treated more fairly.
It's unfortunate that Nanny wasn't there at those time when she had to go without food, as well as electricity and water where she was living. No child should have to suffer like that in this country.

The OP thinks he's giving you some example his ideology showing how it's done, when in fact liberal social democracies are the far and away better at rewarding hard work.
And here I thought this was a story about a young girl and her determination..
You should read the first post of this thread then...you missed it.
