3-9-26 - 11am - Poll Tax and Climate Change
About this episode
In this episode, Mike delves into the debate surrounding the Save Act, a bill aimed at verifying citizenship for voter registration. He tackles the argument that requiring documents like birth certificates or passports to vote constitutes a poll tax, a claim he believes is based on a flawed understanding of the term. Michael breaks down the historical context of poll taxes and explains why the current system is fundamentally different. He also discusses the importance of intellectual honesty and the need to address the root concerns behind the poll tax rhetoric.
