Mitt's Speech and the American Dream

You know what, I'll give him credit.

I'll accept his premise that he really wants to succeed.

Problem is, his means of doing so concentrates all efforts on the one in a gagillion chance that people make it BIG, and then, leaves nothing for them when it doesn't work out like that.

It's an unstable tower phenomenon.

Imagine building the biggest jenga tower you can with the blocks that you have.

It can be incredibly tall.

But it's inherently unstable at the core, and is more likely to fall down, more than anything.

Building lower, yet using more bricks to support the structure is what makes it stable and lasting (even though it should be understood, that that stability is only there until a hand comes by to knock it all down anyway).

I'm half hoping that you'd get elected, Mr. Romney, even though I would never vote for you in an eternity.

Cause your own dreams are going to get dashed, when you implement them in the present reality.

And you'll see exactly how wrong your philosophies are when they are applied to the real world that is around you.

Think about it.

If that's what you're really doing with it.

Think about it.
