Kairos; where has the dream gone?

The American dream is deteriorating and now is a good time to fix that in more than one way. For example, we, as BYU students, know that it is not easy to get here. We know that we, some more than others, worked hard to get here: we studied and got good grades, we played and excelled in sports, we had extracurricular activities, we served the community, and we worked so that we could pay to be here after all of that other work. That’s what makes America great! We work for what we get and we appreciate what we have. People are losing sight of this vision. It’s plain to see when the government does things like tax us because we got married to discourage family life. New taxes also make it hard to own a small business and scare people from being ambitions and creating new things. The worst of it all is the handouts; people come here (or are already here) and genuinely believe that they just deserve things. They don’t want to work or go to school, they want it given to them, and the government is doing just that. Does it seem fair that you are here (already having worked you butt off to be here) working even harder so that you can get a good job and take care of yourself, your family, and now your lazy neighbor who doesn't want to help himself?
