In my opinion, the things that made America great were the principles on which the country was founded, the so called Jeffersonian democracy, and the value attached to life, liberty and individual freedom. In recent times, we see a marked departure from these core values in the American society and thinking.
The Problem is...
...this sense of entitlement that is creeping in, the sense that you should be led to the path of success by someone else,
...this socialist notion that all men are born equal with the same kind of needs and not acknowledging/celebrating the uniqueness of each individual,
...this thought that your misfortune was because of another person's deeds,
...this nauseating jealousy of other people's successes and riches and not accepting that they deserve it,
...this robinhood-esque mentality of stealing other peoples hard-earned money through a middle-man ("the government") in the form of a progressive tax system and a multitude of other taxes.
"Everyone feels a little let down because, on some level, people expected all their problems to go away. But real change comes from everyday people. You can't wait for a leader." - Matt Damon on Obama rule.
"The American values of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness -- that's pursuit, nothing is guaranteed in this country." - Hansen Hashim Clarke, the newly-minted member of the United States House of Representatives.
