I am a one of those people known as a "Boomer" and now, am somewhere between the ages of 50 and death. Like most people of my generation, I have a strong work ethic, an insatiable curiosity, and I am ever in search of the proverbial "American Dream." That dream has altered greatly since I first learned of it. My original understanding of it was that anyone who worked hard and applied themselves, could achieve whatever they wanted in this life as an American. While I have, to some extent, achieved the American dream, I find myself railing at how that dream has changed and, unfortunately, how we who worked so hard to achieve it are now being penalized for having met with some measure of success.
