Podcasts about income taxes

King Charles has become the first monarch in modern times to reveal how much tax he pays on his private income: £24.6m over the last two years. The move comes after years of calls for the monarch to be more open with the public about the royal finances. Some are heralding this as a new era of transparency – but just how open has the revelation been? Lucy Hough speaks to our European financial affairs editor, Juliette Garside – watch on YouTube.

Southern Illinois got hit hard — two lives lost in mobile homes as tornadoes tore through the Mount Vernon area while St. Louis narrowly dodged the worst of it. The Marc Cox Morning Show breaks it all down. Then — the Festus data center saga takes a wild new turn as a city council votes to block its own recall election, and now a resident is asking the courts to intervene. Plus, a driver falls asleep at 70 miles per hour and plows into a children's disability clinic in Arnold at 2 AM — and a driverless Tesla kills a 76-year-old woman. And Marc Cox goes off on school districts already eyeing your wallet for more tax dollars. His voter guide is dropping this week, and he's making the case right now — Amendment 5 eliminates Missouri's income tax, puts $5,000 back in the pocket of a family of four, and the guardrails are already built in. You need this information before early voting starts — and the Marc Cox Morning Show is the only place you're going to get the full picture.

Hour 3 of The Mark Reardon Show begins with John Lamping, Former Missouri State Senator, who joins the show to discuss his thoughts on the Iran process, as well as on Amendment 5 on the August Missouri Ballot, which involves phasing out the Missouri Income Tax. Rick Stream, Republican Elections Director for St. Louis County, joins the show to discuss how election judges are needed for August and November elections. We round the hour and the show out with our 'Audio Cut of the Day!'

Continued conversation about how the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court has removed a proposed income tax cut from the November ballot, ruling that a summary of the measure issued by Attorney General Andrea Campbell's office was misleading. The initiative would have lowered the state's flat income tax rate from 5% to 4%, but the court found that voters were not properly informed that the change would also affect taxes on long-term capital gains. Should the proposed tax cut have remained on the ballot for voters to decide?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former Missouri Senator John Lamping joins Ryan Wrecker and Kim St. Onge to discuss the growing problem of teen takeovers, youth crime, and the role prosecutors play in enforcing the law. Lamping explains why strong laws alone are not enough without prosecutors willing to pursue charges and weighs in on whether parents should face consequences when minors are involved in disruptive incidents. The conversation also turns to Amendment 5 and Missouri's effort to move toward eliminating the state income tax. Lamping discusses the political hurdles facing the proposal, arguments from supporters and opponents, the economic advantages of no-income-tax states, and why Governor Mike Kehoe continues to champion the issue as part of Missouri's long-term economic strategy.

Indi and Ryan are joined by Kevin Fitzgerald covering VAT workflow improvements, AI payroll onboarding, the month-end close race, and a blunt conversation about why most accounting professionals still are not using AI at all. FreeAgent has shipped VAT return improvements timed to the April 2026 MTD rollout for sole traders and landlords. Kevin notes that FreeAgent's position within NatWest Group gives it a natural route to compliance ownership of the SMEs it serves. Ryan observes that FreeAgent and Sage are now competing on functionality that Xero and Intuit have largely left behind as they moved upmarket. Dext has added Core Guidance to AI Assist, a pre-configured library of compliance-aligned bookkeeping rules that firms can activate per client without any setup work. Indi argues that setup friction has been the real enemy of AI adoption, and Ryan, despite being the self-declared cynic, concedes it is a strong release. The conversation turns to a harder question: if firms are training the Dext engine through their own decisions, are accountants teaching the software vendor how to do their job? Bright has launched Oscar, an AI onboarding agent that contacts new starters via WhatsApp, collects P45s, bank details and right-to-work documents, and passes everything to BrightPay for review. A process that takes up to seven days is reduced to 1.5 hours. Kevin questions whether that saving justifies packaging as a chargeable service. Ryan challenges the WhatsApp security model before the source article confirms the interaction sits behind a Bright login. Kevin also explains how Employment Hero is building Hero AI, with compliance agents that can read employment contracts and surface risk across the business. MIMO has extended Associate into bank and balance sheet reconciliation. Indi explains the logic: to make its receivables financing work downstream, MIMO needed the upstream data layer to be reliable first. Ryan notes that period close is the story everyone in accounting tech is chasing, and the question is not who gets there first but who builds it well enough to change how accountants work. Kevin leads a direct conversation on the AI skills gap. Fifty-eight per cent of finance departments report skills gaps, 19% of accounting professionals use AI daily, and 70% have never used AI at work. Ryan offers four structural reasons: productivity targets that penalise learning time, the cost and data sensitivity of paid tools, centralised training cultures that resist independent exploration, and a shortage of accounting-specific AI guidance. Also covered: Zoho Books is bringing a summer roadshow to six UK cities covering MTD, corporation tax and AI for practices. Ryan highlights Trove, a bootstrapped Xero credit control app launched in late 2024, claiming a 60% reduction in overdue invoices.

Hancock and Kelley join Amy Marxkors in studio for the whole hour. Discussions today include the possible repeal of the Missouri income tax; the history of sports, which is older, is snooker a sport?; what have political candidates come to?; is Elon Musk going to become a trillionaire?

Brad Young, KMOX Legal Analyst, partner at Harris, Young & Kayser, joins Megan Lynch every week for an update on cases you need to know about. The state of the repeal of the Missouri income tax is still in limbo, the Supreme Court is set to release verdicts on several 2nd Amendment cases, one regarding transgender athlete bans in a pair of states, and the cost of worker visas; and what happens now to the Festus council recall efforts?

Let's Go Washington reported 242,699 signatures in three weeks for IP26-645, a measure to repeal the state's 9.9% income tax on household income above $1 million. The group needs 308,911 valid signatures by July 2 to qualify for the November ballot but is targeting 400,000 or more to challenge the all-time state record of just under 700,000. Signature gatherers continue to face harassment and assault. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/news/video-petition-campaign-to-repeal-washington-income-tax-may-break-records/ #WashingtonState #IP26645 #IncomeTax #LetsGoWashington #BallotInitiative #WAPolitics #SB6346 #PetitionDrive #VoterRights #ClarkCounty

St. Louis is never boring. The Marc Cox Morning Show breaks down a wild Sunday afternoon at Sky Zone in Shrewsbury where 300-plus teens turned a trampoline park into a riot scene — rocks flying at police, businesses forced to close, and a 12-year-old who grabbed a kitchen knife and ordered an Uber to get there. Then, the Festus data center recall saga takes a jaw-dropping turn when the city council simply votes to ignore thousands of petition signatures and cancel the special election entirely. And the Missouri Supreme Court refuses to touch the ballot language for August's income tax repeal amendment — meaning voters will decide as-is whether to scrap the state income tax for good. It's everything happening in your backyard that the rest of the media glosses over, and you won't get a straighter take anywhere else.

In a nutshell, ethics is the study of right and wrong. There are ethical principles that should guide human behavior to be right, fair, honest and responsible. In this week's Chairman's Report, Steve Hayes applies ethical principles to taxation and finds that the FAIRtax is vastly superior ethically to the income tax.

This Day in Legal History: Congress Passes the Nineteenth AmendmentOn this day in 1919, the U.S. Senate voted 56 to 25 to approve the Nineteenth Amendment, sending to the states a one-sentence constitutional rule that “the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” The House had already passed it two weeks earlier, by a comfortable margin, and the question now moved to the states, where ratification would take fourteen months of careful organizing and a now-legendary single vote by a Tennessee legislator named Harry Burn — cast on his mother's instruction — to clinch the 36-state threshold in August 1920. The Nineteenth Amendment did not by itself enfranchise all American women: Black women in the South, women of color across the country, and Native women living on tribal land would face decades more of state-level disenfranchisement that did not begin to ease until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and would not be fully addressed even after that. But June 4, 1919 was the day that women's suffrage stopped being a state-by-state campaign and became, at the federal level, a constitutional commitment. The structural lesson is one worth holding onto: in the United States, voting rights live not just in the Constitution but in the day-to-day administration of elections by the states — which is why the fight over them is never quite over.Senators John Kennedy of Louisiana and Ron Wyden of Oregon — a Republican and a Democrat who do not often appear in the same headline — jointly introduced the Open Courts Act on Tuesday, a bill that would do something the federal judiciary has talked about for two decades and never quite accomplished: replace PACER, the public court records system, with a modern interface, eliminate the per-page fees, and harden the cybersecurity around the federal judiciary's electronic filing system. PACER stands for Public Access to Court Electronic Records, and right now it charges users ten cents a page to read federal court filings, which adds up alarmingly quickly when you're trying to follow a case of any size. The bill would also require the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts to build a new system funded outside the regular appropriations cycle, which the sponsors argue would save taxpayers about $60 million a year in operating costs and avoid the budget-fight ritual that has stalled past reforms. The cybersecurity piece is not incidental: the federal courts have suffered two significant intrusions in recent years, one reportedly tied to Russian actors in 2025 and a similar one in 2020, and Wyden has been pushing for an independent security review since last year. The legal stakes here are unusual because PACER is a public-access tool that has historically been priced like a paywalled subscription product, which is a kind of legal-transparency contradiction the U.S. has tolerated longer than almost any peer democracy. Kennedy's framing — “Americans should not have to sell plasma or wrestle with clunky government websites just to read public court records” — is the kind of soundbite the bill needs to actually move. Whether it actually moves is another question; previous versions of this bill have died quietly. Watch the Judiciary Committee in the next month.Bipartisan Bill Would Modernize Court Records Systems | Law360The Department of Justice has opened an investigation into former U.S. Representative George Santos for possible insider trading on Kalshi, the federally-regulated prediction-market exchange, after Kalshi itself reportedly flagged a pattern of suspicious wagers to prosecutors. The story, broken by Reuters on Wednesday, is one of the first big public test cases for how insider trading principles map onto event-based contracts — which are not stocks, are not commodities in the traditional sense, and have spent the better part of the last two years in regulatory limbo while Kalshi and the CFTC fought in federal court over whether the platform could list its contracts at all. The legal challenge is real: insider trading liability under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 historically requires a “security,” and Kalshi contracts are not securities — they sit under the CFTC's authority as “event contracts.” That leaves DOJ working with commodities-fraud theories, wire-fraud statutes, and potentially Santos's own conditions of release from his prior unrelated criminal sentencing, all of which apply differently and less neatly than they would in an old-fashioned stock-trading case. If you are wondering how an ex-Congressman ends up with material nonpublic information worth betting on Kalshi, you are asking the right question, and it is also the question prosecutors will have to answer if they want any of this to stick. Expect this to become a defining test case for how event-contract markets get policed.DOJ investigating ex-US lawmaker Santos for insider trading on Kalshi, source says | ReutersIn my column for Bloomberg this week, I write about a pattern emerging across California, Minnesota, Oregon, Illinois, Washington, Maine, and other states: lawmakers are reaching for the politically powerful phrase “wealth tax” to describe what are, on inspection, just new top brackets or surtaxes on high-income earners. I argue that the slippage is not just sloppy branding, it is a strategic mistake. A wealth tax and an income surtax are not the same thing — wealth is a stock and income is a flow, and a higher rate on income realized this year will never reach the accumulated balance-sheet fortunes that the wealth-tax conversation was actually designed to capture. The “buy, borrow, die” critique that motivates much of the wealth-tax movement is precisely about taxpayers who never realize income because they never need to: they hold appreciating assets, borrow against them for liquidity, and defer or escape income-tax recognition entirely. Adding a few points to the top marginal income-tax rate, I write, is just a slightly higher toll at the same toll booth — it does not reach the wealth that bypassed the toll entirely. The political-capital point is what worries me most. Wealth taxes pick a specific kind of fight — about asset valuation, billionaire flight, capital mobility, constitutional limits, and the like — and to spend that capital fighting that fight on behalf of what is in fact a different and more familiar policy is a strange trade. I think a more honest framing would serve both sides better: if states want a real wealth tax, they need to design one — with valuation rules, third-party reporting, anti-avoidance, residency standards, and liquidity protections — and if they want a high-income surtax, they should call it that and defend it on its own merits. The middle ground gets you the burden of a tax hike without the benefits of either. Half measures that cost full price in political capital, I conclude, are not helping anyone.States Should Avoid Using ‘Wealth Tax' Rhetoric for Income Taxes | Bloomberg Tax (Technically Speaking) This is a public episode.

Hour 2 of The Charlie James Show on Monday, June 1, 2026, confronted the sharpening divide between establishment and grassroots Republicans in South Carolina alongside culture-war battles marking the start of June.Segment 5: The Anti-Establishment Ticket (Norman Taps Morgan)The Alliance: U.S. Representative Ralph Norman officially announced former State Representative and South Carolina Freedom Caucus founder Adam Morgan as his lieutenant governor running mate [8373524].The Strategy: Broadcast from Morgan's Greenville business, the announcement took direct aim at Senator Lindsey Graham's establishment "Get Out the Vote" tour in Columbia.The Platform: Framed as a fight against nepotism, Norman pledged to make Morgan his "road czar" to conduct a forensic audit of the SCDOT.Segment 6: Weaponizing the "Fascist" LabelThe Narrative: Charlie analyzed the national media landscape, breaking down how the political left systematically attaches the "fascist" label to conservative policies.The Counter-Argument: The segment focused on how mainstream media mischaracterizes traditional constitutional conservatism—such as state sovereignty and border enforcement—as authoritarianism to alienate moderate voters.Segment 7: The Tax Debate (SC Income Tax vs. Florida Property Tax)South Carolina's Goal: The discussion turned to fiscal policy, with Charlie advocating for the complete elimination of the South Carolina state income tax to stay economically competitive.The Florida Blueprint: The show contrasted SC's progress with aggressive tax proposals in Florida, where lawmakers are actively discussing the radical framework of eliminating residential property taxes entirely.Segment 8: Greenville Forums & The Decline of Pride MonthLocal Politics Tonight: Charlie reminded Upstate voters about the critical Greenville County candidate forum happening tonight, urging listeners to vet local council and legislative contenders before the June 9 primary.Cultural Shifts: The hour closed with a commentary on the start of June, where Charlie argued that corporations and the public are pulling back from Pride Month. He noted a measurable decline in corporate visual branding and public enthusiasm compared to previous years, attributing the shift to consumer fatigue and the financial fallout of hyper-politicized marketing.

Today on Washington in Focus Daily: New developments in the deadly Nippon pulp mill explosion in Longview Community outrage grows after the arrest of Longview School District Superintendent Karen Cloninger The effort to repeal Washington's new income tax shatters early signature-gathering records TOP STORY: LONGVIEW REELING AFTER DEADLY NIPPON PLANT DISASTER Washington State Sen. Jeff Wilson says the Longview community is devastated following the massive industrial implosion at the Nippon facility. According to Wilson: At least six deaths had been confirmed through drone footage Three additional workers were still missing and presumed dead Multiple others suffered severe chemical burns Wilson explained: “This isn't business first. It still is about people.” The senator, whose son works at the facility, said he had never seen a tank rupture in that manner during decades working around similar industrial systems. Officials say the investigation into the cause of the implosion is ongoing. LONGVIEW SCHOOL BOARD FACES PUBLIC OUTRAGE Meanwhile, the Longview School Board faced intense backlash during its first public meeting since Superintendent Karen Cloninger's arrest. Cloninger is accused of: Obstructing an investigation Failing to report alleged assaults Interfering with law enforcement The allegations involve: ➡️ Older boys basketball players accused of assaulting younger students ➡️ Claims district officials delayed reporting the incidents to police ➡️ Concerns the superintendent and others attempted to suppress discussion of the case During public testimony: Multiple residents demanded school board members resign Parents accused officials of betraying community trust Critics questioned why the board extended Cloninger's contract despite ongoing investigations INCOME TAX REPEAL EFFORT BREAKS RECORDS The initiative campaign seeking to repeal Washington's new income tax is also seeing explosive early momentum. According to Let's Go Washington: More than 92,780 signatures were gathered during the first week alone Organizers say it is a record-breaking pace Roughly 309,000 valid signatures are needed to qualify for the ballot Supporters argue: ➡️ Many voters fear the tax threshold could eventually expand ➡️ Businesses and high earners are considering relocation ➡️ The initiative effort reflects growing public opposition Governor Bob Ferguson responded Wednesday by saying: “So long as I am governor, I will veto any attempt to lower the threshold or raise the rate of this tax.” Critics noted lawmakers previously declined to permanently lock those protections into the legislation itself. WHY THIS MATTERS This impacts: Industrial safety Public trust in schools Washington tax policy Public accountability Ballot initiatives Community safety and oversight Longview is now at the center of multiple major stories involving public safety, government accountability, and statewide political debate. #WashingtonState #Longview #IncomeTax #Politics #BreakingNews #JeffWilson #SchoolBoard #PublicSafety #Investigation #USNews Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt is drawing national attention after suggesting that many drug-addicted homeless individuals in Los Angeles could eventually relocate to Seattle under his proposed homelessness policies. Pratt made the comments during an interview with ABC7 Los Angeles while discussing his plans for addressing homelessness and addiction in the city. SPENCER PRATT TARGETS SEATTLE IN HOMELESSNESS COMMENTS Pratt claimed: Large portions of Los Angeles' homeless population are not originally from California Nonprofits and rehab organizations are contributing to the crisis Stricter enforcement and reduced funding could push people elsewhere According to Pratt: “They're all going to Seattle, where the mayor will welcome them.” He specifically referenced Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson while discussing how he believes Seattle handles homelessness and drug addiction. Pratt argued: ➡️ Some individuals are drawn to cities with more permissive policies ➡️ Current systems incentivize continued addiction and homelessness ➡️ Major changes are needed in how cities respond to the crisis SEATTLE MAYOR'S OFFICE DID NOT RESPOND According to Washington In Focus Daily host Carleen Johnson: A request for comment was sent to Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson's office No response was received prior to the podcast recording The comments are already fueling broader debates involving: Homelessness policy Drug addiction Public safety Regional migration between West Coast cities Critics of Seattle's approach argue: ➡️ Policies are too permissive ➡️ Cities are enabling addiction and encampments ➡️ Businesses and residents are increasingly frustrated Supporters argue: ➡️ Homelessness is a complex humanitarian issue ➡️ Housing affordability and mental health treatment remain major factors ➡️ Sweeps and punitive policies alone do not solve the crisis This impacts: Homelessness policy Public safety debates West Coast politics Regional migration Local government policy Seattle and Los Angeles voters The comments are quickly becoming part of a larger political fight over how major West Coast cities handle homelessness, addiction, and public disorder. Today's Washington In Focus Daily also features: Washington business owners are sounding the alarm over the state's new income tax, with some lifelong Democrats now considering leaving Washington altogether. In this episode of Washington In Focus Daily, Carlene Johnson speaks with Teeter owners Chris and Riley Lear about tariffs, rising costs, staffing cuts, and why they say Washington businesses have been “bled dry” by the cumulative tax burden. The conversation also dives into concerns over how the new 9.9% income tax could impact S corporations and business owners whose profits exist largely on paper through inventory and reinvestment. Plus, Representative John Ley warns the Interstate Bridge Replacement project could become a multi-billion-dollar “boondoggle,” with tolls potentially climbing far higher than originally advertised. Ley compares the project to California's troubled high-speed rail effort and argues the inclusion of light rail is dramatically driving up costs for Washington and Oregon drivers. #Seattle #LosAngeles #Homelessness #SpencerPratt #Politics #PublicSafety #BreakingNews #WashingtonState #California #USNews Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Seattle's socialist mayor is now pushing for both a city income tax and a capital gains tax — because apparently the mass exodus of businesses and residents just isn't moving fast enough. This is the latest move from a city government that seems genuinely committed to testing how much punishment people will take before they simply leave.Washington state already banned local income taxes, which tells you everything you need to know about how serious these proposals actually are. But the political posturing is real, the sentiment behind it is real, and the direction of travel is real. Seattle's leadership wants to extract more from whoever's still left standing while offering no credible plan to fix the homelessness, crime, or vacancy rates that drove everyone out in the first place.Sean breaks down what's actually being proposed, why it won't survive a legal challenge, and what it tells us about where Seattle's political class wants to take this city.

Seattle's Starbucks workers are getting exactly what they asked for — and it's not pretty. After refusing to relocate to the company's Nashville hub and clinging to remote work arrangements, layoffs are now reportedly incoming for employees who believed ideological solidarity was a job benefit. Red states don't have to chase you out when your politics do the work for them.Meanwhile, Seattle's socialist mayor is floating a city income tax and capital gains tax on top of an already brutal cost-of-living crisis. Washington State's constitution has historically blocked income taxes, but Seattle's progressives have never let a legal obstacle slow them down. They will come after your paycheck, your portfolio, and your business — and they will call it compassion.Together, these two stories are the clearest snapshot yet of a city actively destroying itself: workers choosing unemployment over living somewhere functional, and politicians determined to tax away whatever's left. The Seattle doom loop isn't a metaphor anymore — it's official municipal policy.CHAPTERS0:00 Socialist Seattle Mayor Pushes City…3:07 Starbucks Workers Resist Nashville Move3:53 Howard Schultz's Progressive About-Face5:02 How Corporations Quietly Exit Cities6:03 Seattle Staff Reject Tennessee…7:13 Katie Wilson and the Seattle Bubble8:13 Move to Nashville or Lose Your Job9:09 What Nashville Has That Seattle Doesn't10:43 Starbucks Profits While Seattle Declines12:46 Tennessee's Values Drive the Culture Gap13:30 Real ID Headaches in Washington State14:40 Tennessee Declares Nuclear Family Month15:27 Retention Bonuses Before the Layoffs16:58 Katie Wilson's Day-One Starbucks BoycottSubscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of Pacific Northwest politics, urban failure, and the stories the mainstream press won't touch.
