We earn our {{livelihood#living|life|lived}} in America today in peaceful {{competition#competing|competed|competes}} with people all across the Earth. Profound and {{powerful#powerless|empowering|powered}} forces are shaking and {{remaking#made|unmaking|unmade}} our world, and the urgent question of our time is whether we can make change our friend and not our enemy. This new world has already {{enriched#richen|riches|enriching}} the lives of millions of Americans who are able to {{compete#competed|competition|competing}} and win in it. But when most people are working harder for less, when others cannot work at all, when the cost of health care devastates families and threatens to {{bankrupt#embank|banked|banking}} our enterprises, great and small, when the fear of crime robs law abiding citizens of their {{freedom#freeing|freed|free}} and when millions of poor children cannot even imagine the lives we are calling them to lead, we have not made change our friend.
