Obama like Marx

Barack Obama: “Americans want to reclaim our American dream. That’s why I’m running for president of the United States.”

Barack Obama: “I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

This is the “American dream”? Sounds more like: Karl Marx: “From each, according to his ability; to each, according to his need.”

I thought the American dream was that each person would have the opportunity to make the most of his or her abilities, without the interference of government. When did it change?
