And there will be a transition in terms of wealth going on to people.

So there's a kind of argument of like, just wait for it to happen.

It'll happen.

There are others who have more radical ideas, ideas about literally reducing the weight of the elderly vote, mechanically increasing the weight of the young vote.

It's provocative, but I don't subscribe to that idea.

But there are more neutral grounds that are, I think, more palatable.

One thing is that

The rise of the elderly as a share of the population is also corresponded with an increase in their share of the wealth of this country.

To an astonishing degree, more and more dollars are held by older people.

And if you just tax income at higher rates, you will reduce that inequality in wealth terms.

Political inequality, I think, is much harder to deal with because there's one person, one vote.

But you can imagine taxation scheme that actually equalizes the playing field.

Then I think there are also, you know, if the root of discontent is young people's inability to access housing and other constraints, there are things you can do to increase the accessibility of housing that I think, you know, don't require a kind of generational warfare settlement in order to get to, but would be beneficial to the young and also for the elderly.

Thanks for having me.
