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.

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.
