The American dream hasn't changed at all - It's still the same.

The guy next to me is from Columbia. He works for UPS. He's thrilled to death to be here in the US and can't believe he owns a house with a pool. The guy across the street from him is a landscaper - he has one employee and parks his landscaping truck next to his brand new Corvette. The guy behind me - I kid you not - is building a freaking airplane in his garage.

The American dream is alive and well. You just have to earn it.
