James Talarico: “Young people pay more than their fair share of income taxes…”

“Young people can't afford to buy a home, but Jeff Bezos has 12. Young people can't afford to fill up their gas tank, but Mark Zuckerberg is launching helicopters from his mega yacht. Young people pay more than their fair share of income taxes, but someone like Elon Musk can get away without paying a penny. All of this has left your generation disillusioned. Disillusionment has a bad reputation. But being disillusioned means being freed from illusions, to see reality, to know the truth.” (05:10–05:20)
