10/23 The Tax Debate We Need w/ Marshall Steinbaum

October 23, 2017

today’s show, Marshall Steinbaum, (@Econ_Marshall) joins us to discuss how we should discuss taxes. The New Deal origins and mythology behind the “tax revolt,” and the danger of being to comfortable with individuals getting obscenely wealthy, and what Trump’s hesitation to shamelessly pass tax cuts for the wealthy signifies.

And on the fun half – Pompeo promises a “vicious CIA,” Trump sees a psychiatrist, Turning Point USA wears diapers at Kent State, Fox News thinks the Weinstein Company should shut down due to sexual harassment, and Tom Price’s wife wants to quarantine the HIV positive, and your calls and IMs.
