Your Heard Tell Show is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking to our friend Alex Muresianu from The Tax Foundation to explain "no tax on tips" and why there is bipartisan political agreement for it, and bipartisan agreement in policy circles it is a bad idea.

Following President Biden's student loan forgiveness program... there's been a lot of talk lately about taxing university endowments.

Feeling the pressure to respond, policymakers have proposed everything from gas tax holidays, tapping into strategic reserves, and even rebate cards.

However, as with anything in tax policy, the reality is much more complicated.But why exactly have windfall profits taxes risen from the grave, and what put them there in the first place?

Why are Federal agencies rushing to remove regulatory barriers in multiple sectors of the economy during the Coronavirus scare? It could be because what advocates of lighter regulation have always argued is true...that red tape slows down business, healthcare and is often more about protecting established industry than it is public safety. Shoshana Weissmann of R Street joins Underscored along with Alex Muresianu of Young Voices to break it all down.
