America 1919

Countless times, evidence had been provided for Donnie, that when you're undergoing criticism, if you try to prove your innocence with data, then you've already lost! So, in the face of the IRS's attacks in the newspapers, Donnie collaborated with Kafe Jackson to publish an article in the "Atlantic City Post" signed only by Donnie. "An American's American Dream" "In 1766, the forefathers of the United States welcomed a historic moment; the Declaration of Independence was born that year. I have always remembered the description in the Declaration of Independence: All men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." To me, this is the American Dream for every single American, and in this broad sense, I received an education useful for my entire life. In the United States, we should believe that as long as one perseveres and strives, one can achieve a better life. That is, people must realize their own value through their diligent work, courage, creativity, and determination, rather than relying on a specific social class or assistance from others. This is my American Dream. Put simply, as long as you work hard, you can accomplish anything. As long as you strive individually, you can achieve success and realize your self-worth. It was this very thought that, after leaving the battlefield, led me to blame the war but never my personal circumstances because I was utterly convinced that with enough effort, courage, brilliant ideas, and firm determination, I could realize my life's value outside the combat zone. I returned to Atlantic City, back to the city where I grew up. Here, I began my pursuit of a new dream: to create more wealth and serve more people. When I saw my fellow women who had just gained the right to vote feeling lost in this sudden happiness, I believed that I should let them know what women's beauty is. Women's beauty should not be defined or disturbed by any other factors. It is a pure beauty... Thus, I founded Miss America, to let society see the beauty of women, and also to let more American women see the diversity of beauty. But during this process, I realized how easily the public can be misled—their information was blocked. Every American should be informed in real-time of what they want to know, including politics, finance, sports, entertainment... Therefore, I founded the Atlantic City Broadcast, the precursor to ABC. From then on, every American was equal because, even if they couldn't be there in person, they could be aware of every game they cared about, knowing that every player was fighting for their American Dream as well as every American's dream. Every American could also know about the ruling philosophy of the political party they supported and find out about the stocks they bought. From their homes, they could find out anything they wanted to know. This made them equal in a sense, completing the concept of equality for all. Of course, in this process, I also created considerable wealth for myself through step-by-step efforts. I know that behind every dream's success lies innumerable hardships. I never feared bullets or gunfire on the battlefield, nor the enemy that might emerge from somewhere and take my life. And now, for my American Dream, I fear no attacks from any adversary. But what chills me is that beyond the visible enemies, there are those hidden in the shadows, ruthlessly attempting to slander a good-hearted American. They cannot stand to see an ordinary person relying on their own abilities to realize their self-worth. Don't they know about everything I've done for this country? Or don't they know about the efforts I've made to ensure that veterans like me have decent jobs, so they no longer become society's problem as described by outsiders? No! They do know. They know that I've recruited thousands of veterans to work for my company; they also know that I pay tens of millions of dollars in salaries each year to support these people. But they don't care! Yes, they don't care! They simply don't want to see an ordinary American achieve their American Dream. They don't want to see a fairytale-like happy ending. They are accustomed to controlling everything! I understand my current situation, but I'm not worried, not in the slightest! I believe that no American should worry about such groundless accusations! Because justice will never be defeated! I firmly believe that once an American has an American Dream, they become incredibly powerful, as majestic as a mountain. The wind and the rain will only make them more imposing. A mountain does not collapse!" As expected, the article, which was highly emotive and perfectly resonated with the mood of American sentiment, caused an immense stir upon its release! "That's why I say, presenting facts and data to the public is useless. They only believe what they want to believe. Rationality does not exist for the onlookers."
