Pete Buttigieg: “When one job was not enough for way too many Americans.”

“… wealthy used their wealth to get more power and the powerful used their power to get more wealth, when politicians were picking their voters instead of the other way around, When one job was not enough for way too many Americans. Back when people barbarically had to choose between health care and housing. Back in those 2000s, when the American dream was slipping away, that is when we turned things around before it was too late.” (34:20–34:24)
