That makes no sense. The American dream was built on liberal values. America itself was founded by liberals. The "American Dream" of a robust middle class that built the greatest nation the earth ever had seen was made possible by liberal ideas, mostly the progressive income tax, plus trade unionism. It's hard to understand how you can contend the "liberals have been trying to kill it" when we built it and then watched it start to come apart starting with Reagan's reversal of the economic forces that built it.
