Episode description

Taxing the rich is a topic many elected officials harp on with a religious zeal. Despite their moral high tone, taxes on the rich seem to do more damage to the middle and lower classes. The income tax, supposedly to penalize rich tycoons, ended up being paid mostly by people other than the rich. Whoops! Guess it’s time for a new tax. Any suggestions for a name?

On today’s episode, Tom and John discuss how we can avoid getting squelched by taxes and inflation... it’s one of the few weapons we have left.
