Episode description

Benjamin Franklin said the only certainties in life are death and taxes. Sifting through receipts, deciphering confusing codes, and filling out forms is an annual ritual that's about much more than money.

In this conversation with historian Molly Michelmore we'll explore the past, present, and future of the income tax.
