we have the best economy in the world we got to make it better we really do have the best economy in the world the comparison is always the rest of the world anyway that was President Biden obviously bragging about the state of his economy but despite what the President says Americans are not buying it because they don't feel it parents and grandparents who spoke with Fox News digital say they are not optimistic about the future of the American dream it's dying I think it's in the middle people
haven't given up hope entirely but it I think a lot of people are doubtful you can't afford the American dream with what we what we wanted When We Were Young it's not something really our kids can afford because it's too expensive we've got ours but our our kids and our grandkids can't afford homes and they can't afford to do the things they'd like to do kind of dead I just think it's really hard to change where you're at in life these days it's possible but it's extremely difficult kind of lost
our way I mean it's impossible for the younger generation to afford housing I mean a car cost what my parents bought a house for like stuff like that and I mean wages have remained stagnant I think we kind of are a cast system at this point so where you start is generally where you end up you know the American dream is like a Rocky movie where he's on the ropes and he's been beaten up pretty bad but you know in most Rocky movies he gets up and comes back and wins in the end I'm hoping that's th
e case the American dream is definitely alive um there's such great opportunity here in America and I'm a proud business owner and building my dream no I think it's definitely alive and well you just have to work for it you got to put in the time you have to start from the bottom do your you know do the Dirty Work do the grind and and make your way up so some people believing in it and most people not from just that Gathering of voices there but the thing that stuck out the most to me Kennedy wa
s we're like a cast system which means you don't rise yeah that Negative Nancy I don't necessarily believe in that the American history is written by people who either came to this country with nothing or started out with nothing um and you know Charles is an incredible example of that you know he just shared the story of his mom and Two Brothers Living in one room in New York after a long bus ride and he is the richest man I know he literally has an office and a jet made of not just in this roo
m it's an incredible Story and there's so many people like that we have to listen to them we have to Listen to What it Took what was their struggle what did they have to sacrifice it is still possible it's harder now with the federal government screwing with everything from housing to education to interest rates but it is a POS it is possible and achievable and vote in your own interest amen don't just check boxes and do what people tell you to do and vote how they want you to vote if you want t
hings to change you got to make change yeah well resonated with me was the comment I think it it's the same woman though where she said yeah yes it's still here but it's a lot harder than it was that's exactly how I feel the American dream is never dead but under this Administration and under these policies that have destroyed everything regulations just choke entrepreneurial dreams the the inflation the money everything it is so hard to succeed at this moment it is so hard to improve anything i
f you're not already in the real estate industry if you don't already own your own home if you don't already have that degree there are so many things I feel it every day and if I do I know Millions do alongside of me and it is not getting any easier that's why yes vote in your own best interest and please to God vote for Trump because nothing will change otherwise it'll just get worse you know we used to be a society and maybe out of necessity maybe we're there again where if you bought a home
you didn't buy five homes you bought one and you hope to give it to somebody in your legacy line if you want to have a vacation home maybe you go live there and you give your primary home to your kids are we back in a space now where Legacy matters more than any anything well Legacy is important we are going to have the greatest transfer of wealth from those folks who were able to do that uh you know and you know didn't have to work 25 years to get a down payment on a house I mean two things sto
od out to me and the woman again who said you had to work really really hard what I love about the younger generation is that they are entrepreneurial I don't like is that their time Horizon you know you I always say you can't get the gold watch on the first day at work right but they do want it and that's what really frustrates me to your point we should make it easier for them the other thing president bid bragging about how great our economy is my question to him is why do you want to change
it yeah if capitalism is so great why do you want to change it you see what's happening in Europe they cannot lift themselves up because they become giant borderless countries with magnificent welfare programs and yes you can get six weeks vacation and go on a siesta there's a trade-off for that name a great invention that's come out of Europe outside of weight loss drugs in the last 50 years nothing all the Magnificent Innovation that's coming out of this country that changes the lives for the
people around the world positively it's an American thing and that's why people want to come and live here President Biden you want to change that yeah I would just say you know look for Millennials it was a particularly hard run out of college 2008 the Great Recession you couldn't find a job but gen Z being a young person in this economy you want to go out and buy a house the median price of a home was $412,000 the median price and then you go to get a mortgage and the interest rate is 7% do yo
u know how difficult that is you can't own a home in this country how can you own the American the grandar might have paid 15% so it's tough we just got to grind through it don't give up right oh yeah it may not happen overnight that's why we have to control our own destiny as a society yes well said everybody done that was a great I mean we Al this is the one thing that we all share yeah right the dreaming okay Charles Payne let's just keep talking about him he has a special edition of his maki
