The American Dream derives from the Declaration of Independence‚ which states that “all men are created equal” and they have “certain unalienable rights.” The American Dream‚ coined by James Adams in 1931‚ proposed that all citizens can live a “better‚ richer‚ and happier life.” I think President Roosevelt supports Adam’s idea of the American Dream in the speech The Four Freedoms‚ which he introduced the four points of freedom: Freedom of speech and expression‚

It’s as if trash is deposited in the garbage can and somehow it’s supposed to disappear into some magic black hole. Problem is‚ there is no black hole. There isn’t even room for any more landfill.
