From the transcript
And so that's where it gets harder, where you're, you know, having people that are starting to really consider the things that you think of in a, um, a less income group, that they're really being squeezed. And I just worry for more that, that middle range, middle class, the people that are hurt. Some are looking at, can they keep up with it all? And what are they going to have to do if they can't? So I really encourage you to talk about this tax exemption for 70 and up, up, is in a positive way that brings some relief to that group of people too.
