About this episode
Are you tired of hearing conflicting information about taxes in America? We're going to debunk some of the biggest myths about taxes. From the controversial issue of whether the rich pay their fair share to the potential impact of a wealth tax on income inequality, we'll explore the facts and myths behind these topics. We'll also challenge you to guess how much of your tax dollars are being spent on various expenditures. But the real takeaway from this video is to think about the policies that politicians propose and what kind of behavior they incentivize. And don't miss our discussion of the "dumbest tax idea ever" - the unrealized gains tax on wealth.
