Send us Fan MailThe Big IdeaProfessor Adam Braus pitches a fix nobody's tried: instead of taxing property at a flat rate, tax it like income — progressively. Own a modest home? You're barely taxed. Own a $50 million real estate empire? You pay real money. It's a property tax with a conscience, and Adam argues it could solve the housing crisis, fix California's broken Prop 13 system, and take a swing at the billionaire-hoarding problem all at once.Scot Maupin, doing his usual generous-interrogator thing, pokes at yachts, shell companies, and whether landlords will just pass the cost to renters — and Adam's got an answer for all of it.What's Broken Right NowProp 13 locks property taxes to a home's original purchase price — not what it's worth today. Buy a house in 1985 for pocket change, and decades later you're still paying taxes on pocket change, even as the home is worth millions.This hits commercial property too — including, allegedly, golf courses that shuffle ownership through shell-share tricks so they're never technically "sold."The result: California's budget is starved relative to its actual wealth, and the state leans harder on income tax to compensate — which hits working people disproportionately harder than a property tax would.Meanwhile, in places like Montana and Hawaii, wealthy outsiders are buying up land and driving housing costs through the roof — not because there's a housing shortage, but because of hoarding and speculation.The Fix: Progressive Property TaxInstead of one flat rate on a property's value, tax brackets stack on a person's total property holdings:First $200K (or so): little to no tax — protects ordinary homeowners and grandmas on fixed incomes.$200K–$2M: a low rate, comparable to today's lowest-tax states.$2M–$10M+: rates climb toward the top of the national range (2%+).+$50M: a "super bracket" — 2.5–3%+ on the excess.The pitch: this could roughly double California's property tax revenue (from ~$100B to $170–200B), funneled toward building housing, ending homelessness, and politically popular wins like paid leave — while lowering the tax burden on working people (no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security).How It Closes the LoopholesA beneficiary registry (already used in Australia and some U.S. states) ties every property to a real human owner — so you can't dodge the tax by splitting ownership across an LLC for every house, or spreading deeds across family members.Commercial real estate is included. Adam's pitch turns this into a two-for-one: tax pressure forces a sell-off of empty downtown office space (a post-COVID glut), and the state can buy it cheap and convert it into actual housing — bringing residents (and life) back to dead downtowns.The Objections, Pre-DebunkedScot plays it straight and asks the obvious questions:"Won't the rich just flee to Florida or Montana?" Adam's counter: capital flight of real estate is mostly harmless — the buildings can't be packed in a suitcase. If a billionaire sells, the property stays in-state; prices just come down, which is the point."Won't this just raise rents?" Possibly nudges the very top of the market, but the broad base of affordable housing should barely move — maybe even gets cheaper as demand shifts."Will yachts and jets count?" No — keep it simple, this is real estate only.Where the Idea Comes FromAdam name-checks Gary's Economics (and its scrappier YouTube cousin, Barry's Economics) for the broader "tax wealth, not work" framing, and ties the proposal back to existing progressive wealth-tax proposals from Bernie Sanders (the famous "8% bracket above $1B," pegged to average market returns) and Elizabeth Warren (flat 2% above $50M) — positioning the progressive property tax as a more politically palatable, state-level cousin of those ideas.Detour of the EpisodeA spirited tangent on Maine's Senate race, Graham Platner — oyster farmer, combat veteran, and the episode's pick for "proof this message can win" — plus a running bit on whether wind turbines can literally use up the wind. (They cannot. Probably.)Quotable"I'm so wealthy that I can't pay the tax on my wealth." — the complaint Adam says is doing a lot of work to protect a small number of very rich people.Want me to also draft a short, punchier episode description (the 2–3 sentence blurb for podcast apps) or social media copy to go with these notes?

Keana also shares practical questions to help listeners evaluate their emotional capacity and readiness with honesty and compassion.This Episode Covers:✨ Recap of Last Week's EpisodeA brief review of last week's conversation on How to Heal From an Affair, including the emotional stages of healing, rebuilding trust within yourself, and reclaiming your identity after betrayal.✨ What “Readiness” Actually MeansKeana explains emotional readiness through the lens of relationship psychology and trauma research — including emotional regulation, secure attachment behaviors, and reclaiming personal agency.✨ Signs You Are Ready to Date AgainLearn the key indicators of readiness, such as emotional stability, clarity about your needs, groundedness, and the ability to communicate boundaries.✨ Signs You're Not Ready YetKeana outlines the red flags that signal you need more healing time — including emotional entanglement with an ex, avoidance behaviors, numbness, survival mode, and lack of clarity.✨ How Long Should You Wait? (Research‑Backed)A breakdown of what relationship science says about timelines for healing after breakups, betrayal, and emotional trauma.✨ How Your Body Tells You the TruthSomatic cues from Dr. Peter Levine's work that reveal whether your nervous system feels safe enough for dating — or not.✨ The Healing Work That Must Come FirstEmotional clarity, nervous system regulation, identity rebuilding, boundary strengthening, and relearning trust.✨ Practical Self‑Reflection QuestionsA set of grounding questions to help listeners assess their emotional readiness with honesty and compassion.Key TakeawaysReadiness is not about time — it's about emotional capacity.Your body often knows the truth before your mind does.Healing is not linear, and there's no shame in needing more time.You deserve to date from a place of clarity, not loneliness.Trusting yourself is the foundation of choosing healthy relationships.

What if the reason your quiet time feels inconsistent has nothing to do with your discipline, and everything to do with your expectations?Because many busy Christian women aren't actually struggling to show up for God… they're struggling with what they believe showing up is supposed to look like. And when the moment doesn't feel peaceful, focused, or meaningful enough, it quietly starts to feel like it doesn't “count.”That creates a cycle most women don't even name: you try to do it right, it doesn't feel right, so you either push harder or pull away, and both leave you feeling disconnected.But what if the problem isn't your consistency… what if it's the pressure you've attached to it?In this episode, you'll learn to lower the pressure, not the pursuit, and discover a simpler, more sustainable way to stay connected to God in real life, not ideal conditions.Scriptures Referenced in this Episode1 Samuel 16:7James 4:8 Recipes Mentioned in this EpisodeA mini charcuterie board for one Join the Community here.Let's Connect:Email: hello@p31virtues.com

More than a century ago, a quiet Adirondack lake became the setting for one of the most infamous true crime stories in American history.In this episode of ADK Talks, we dive into the tragic case of Chester Gillette and Grace Brown—a story of ambition, deception, love, and murder that unfolded at Big Moose Lake in the early 1900s.

Next week, we step inside the historic Herkimer County Jail, where APPS investigates what may still remain.What you'll hear in this episodeA secret romance leads to an unexpected pregnancy and rising tension.A trip to Big Moose Lake promises a new beginning but ends in tragedy.A rowboat, a remote bay, and a story that doesn't quite add up.A sensational trial unfolds with love letters and national headlines.The case inspires a landmark novel and a classic Hollywood film.A closer look at the mindset of Chester Gillette.Resources:Adirondack Park Paranormal Society (APPS)APT Alchemy Podcast (APPS Podcast)An American Tragedy by Theodore DreiserMurder in the Adirondacks: An American Tragedy Revisited by Craig BrandonThe Prison Diary and Letters of Chester Gillette (edited by Jack Sherman & Craig BrandonFilm: A Place in the Sun (starring Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift)Produced by NOVA

Sometimes the best moments are the unexpected ones. This week brought one of those moments when Daryl Bahls delivered an extraordinary surprise: access to every table used across our entire investing Boot Camp Series — months of work, ready ahead of schedule.That gift makes it possible to move forward faster, including setting up pages for the upcoming Series and potentially releasing the tables before all the podcasts and articles are complete.The White Coat Investor: 150+ Portfolios That WorkWe revisit the White Coat Investor article “150 Portfolios Better Than Yours” (now over 200 portfolios), originally published in 2014.The key lesson:There is no single “best” portfolio — most of the portfolios are legitimate and effective.

From Exodus to Easter: The Lost Plant Medicine of the Bible In this episode of the Roots to Riches podcast, we delve into the fascinating topic of Kaneh Bosm, a term found in Exodus 30:22-25, which many scholars, including Hebrew etymologist Sula Benet, believe refers to cannabis. I, Justin Benton, your host, explore the historical and linguistic evidence suggesting that cannabis was a key ingredient in the holy anointing oil used by Moses and Jesus.We discuss how the mistranslation of Kaneh Bosm to "calamus" in the Greek Septuagint has obscured this truth for centuries. This episode is particularly timely as it coincides with Easter, a period of resurrection and rediscovery. We reflect on how Jesus, the anointed one, used this sacred oil in his healing ministry, emphasizing the holistic and earthy practices of the early church.I also touch on the modern wellness and plant medicine movement, advocating for a return to natural healing methods that align with ancient wisdom. Our mission is to reach a billion people by 2025, promoting both natural and spiritual healing.Throughout the episode, I encourage listeners to question traditional narratives, seek the truth, and consider the profound implications of rediscovering Kaneh Bosm. We conclude with a call to action, inviting listeners to share this knowledge and join us in our mission to heal the world. Ask this Episode anything! Timestamps00:00:08 - Introduction to CannabossumDiscussion on the Hebrew origins of the word Cannabossum and its connection to cannabis.00:00:52 - Welcome to Roots to RichesIntroduction to the podcast and its focus on natural healing and success.00:01:14 - Easter and Listener FeedbackReflection on Easter, Good Friday, and listener comments about Cannabossum.00:02:30 - Cannabossum and Its MistranslationExplanation of how Cannabossum was mistranslated in the Bible and its implications.00:03:34 - Time Travel and Historical CuriosityA light-hearted discussion about time travel and the desire to witness Jesus's ministry.00:04:17 - Jesus and the Holy Anointing OilDetails on Jesus's use of the holy anointing oil and its significance.00:05:46 - Cannabis in Modern AmericaOverview of the negative perception of cannabis in America and its historical context.00:07:17 - The Marijuana Tax Act of 1937Discussion on the impact of the Marijuana Tax Act on cannabis and hemp.00:08:17 - The Sacred Ingredient in Anointing OilExploration of the sacred ingredient in the anointing oil and its biblical references.00:09:01 - Prayer and Introduction to the EpisodeA prayer and introduction to the episode's focus on Cannabossum and divine healing.00:10:05 - Jesus's Healing MinistryDiscussion on Jesus's use of anointing oil in his healing ministry.00:11:00 - Easter and ResurrectionReflection on the significance of Easter and the resurrection of lost truths.00:12:08 - Modern Wellness and Plant MedicineConnection between modern wellness movements and ancient plant-based medicine.00:13:00 - The Mission to HealThe podcast's mission to reach a billion people by 2025 and promote natural healing.00:15:01 - The Return of CannabossumDiscussion on reclaiming the use of Cannabossum and its importance.00:16:26 - Closing Remarks and Call to ActionClosing remarks, call to action for listeners, and the signature "heal the world" chant.
