Bill O'Reilly here and I'm warming up. Stand by for the O'Reilly update morning edition.

On this Tuesday a new economic survey says that the American citizen, the average person, needs to generate about 4.5

million dollars in a lifetime to participate in the so-called American dream.

So what's that? Well, it's having decent food, comfortable place to

live, options to pursue your interests. That's essentially it. The study goes on to

say that under the multi-million dollar umbrella, you can also responsibly raise two children.

Let's say a citizen works 40 years.

That means he or she would have to generate around $100,000 a year to be comfortable dreaming away.

The bulk of that money would logically come towards the end of a career when skills have been developed.

Also, investments would have to be present.

At this point in our history, taxes are badly encroaching

on the American dream, especially if you live in liberal areas. That's because the

left does not believe in self-reliance. It wants to guarantee the American dream

to everyone, even folks who are irresponsible, even people who

enter this country illegally. That vision costs trillions of dollars and all

working Americans are required to pay their fair share, which is whatever the politicians can squeeze out of us.

That's what the American dream faces, not only providing for your family, but also for your neighbor.

If the Leftists achieve power, the American dream will evaporate into a brutal struggle for legal tender.

Be forewarned.
