We have an administration that's doing the opposite. It's creating less opportunity. It's spending an enormous amount of money. That's creating a new tax. It's called inflation. Inflation is like a 20% tax that all of us are paying right now. It's taking away opportunity because it's having government regulate industry in a much more meaningful way and it's making it harder and harder for young people to survive. (05:25–05:29)
