Mitt Romney On The American Dream

Mitt Romney is former governor of Massachusetts, and a Republican candidate for president. He previously served as chairman of the Republican Governors Association and president and CEO of the Salt Lake Olympics Organizing Committee.

What is the American Dream?

Growing up, the American Dream meant a house in the suburbs. Today’s American Dream must mean more. The new American Dream should include a strong family, enduring values, excellence in education, dependable and affordable health care, secure employment and secure retirement, and a safe and prosperous homeland.

To realize the American Dream, we must strengthen the American people by giving them more freedom, by letting them keep more of what they earn, by making sure our schools are providing the skills our children will need for tomorrow, and by keeping America at the leading edge of innovation and technology. Freedom is at the heart of the American Dream.
