True Community

I have been reading American History all these week getting ready for my final test, in one of the chapters I came to what Lyndon Johnson said as what his desire was for the United States was, "He viewed his landslide victory as a mandate for change. Anxious to leave his mark in history, he spoke of creating a great society for Americans in which the quality of our goals exceeded the quantity of our goods, a society in which poverty, ignorance, and discrimination no longer existed, and the spirit of true community prevailed"(American Passages 873). This was the year 1964...how far are we from this to happens?
