The show ‘The Riches” (http://http//www.imdb.com/title/tt0496343/)was on FX for two seasons before it was canceled. The show was about a family who switches places with a wealthy family who died in a car accident and they moved into there brand new house and tried to live as the family. At one point they compared what they were doing to their conquest for the American dream.

At one point in the show Actres  Dahlia Malloy Said “the American dream isn’t free we have to take it!”

The american dream is slowly fading away and changing the dream during the 40′s and 50′s (http://http//darthvadermeditations.blogspot.com/2005/08/1950s-american-dream.html) is different from what we want now. The dream during the 40′s and 50′s was to get to  married and have 3 kids, live just out side of the city. The dream today has changed people don’t care they’re American dream is to get rich move into a big house and have a couple kids. 

The American dream has been around for a long time since the Mayflower (http://http//www.themayflowersociety.com/). Even tho they didn’t know it was the American dream. They lived the American dream to be free from the English that was there American dream. The African American’s had a American dream to be free and equal with the whites of America. Even the people tonight as you sleep have an American dream that is blocked by the  1,951 mile fence (http://http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico_%E2%80%93_United_States_barrier) between USA and freedom, and the Mexican border of  poverty. They’re only two miles away from helping their family have a better life and them, and There American dream. To make a better life for their  kids and their kids after that and their kid’s kids.

I can’t tell people what to do with there life but i can tell you that they’re someone waiting behind the fence of a border and sitting out in a cold street in Russia and the two point two million the Refugees of chad. The chance to live a life of freedom.
