What does it mean to advocate for taxpayer rights in an increasingly polarized political landscape? Can alliances between the left and right yield real reform in tax policy?In this episode of Associations Thrive, host Joanna Pineda interviews Pete Sepp, President of the National Taxpayers Union (NTU). Pete discusses:How NTU, founded in 1969, is a nonpartisan organization focused on simpler, fairer, lower taxes, less wasteful spending, and taxpayer rights.NTU's mission to fill gaps in the tax policy advocacy space, working on issues that other organizations ignore or overlook.Why NTU identified IRS reform as a key issue — and how they view it as a human rights concern, not just a policy issue.How NTU built a diverse coalition — including organizations like the ACLU and La Raza — to push for taxpayer rights reforms.NTU's creation of the Taxpayer Defense Center to pursue public interest litigation in precedent-setting tax cases.How the NTU Foundation's “Tax Basics” provides factual, accessible answers to common taxpayer questions.The internal practices that earned NTU a spot on Washingtonian's “Best Places to Work” list, including entrepreneurship and low internal politics.Pete's philosophy that association CEOs must focus on the “Four M's” — Money, Money, Money, and Money — to lead effectively.His success in working across ideological lines by reading opposing viewpoints, reaching out, and finding common ground.References:NTU WebsiteWhich States are Best for Remote Workers? 2025 Remote Obligations and Mobility (ROAM) Index - Foundation - National Taxpayers Unionhttps://www.ntu.org/foundation/project/taxpayer-defense-centerInside the One Big Beautiful Bill Act: Major Tax Provisions and Their Impact - Foundation - National Taxpayers Unionhttps://www.ntu.org/foundation/detail/ntuf-launches-cross-ideological-coalition-to-advise-on-irs-80-billion-budget-boost18 Great Places to Work in the DC Area

Is trade a tool of the elite—or the secret weapon of everyday Americans?On this week's Let People Prosper Show, I sit down with Bryan Riley, Director of the Free Trade Initiative at the National Taxpayers Union. Bryan has spent his career fighting for economic freedom and debunking the myths that protectionists love to spread—especially the idea that trade makes us weaker or poorer.This episode is a crash course in real-world trade economics. We unpack NAFTA's lasting legacy, challenge the narrative around trade deficits, and dismantle the idea that tariffs are a smart negotiating tool. Bryan argues that free trade embodies freedom in action—the ability for individuals to choose, compete, and prosper without government interference.For more insights, visit vanceginn.com.

Often described as "the gold standard" for fiscal conservatism in Congress, the National Taxpayers Union rated him the best vote for taxpayers in the House four times, most recently in 2020. Citizens Against Government Waste recently named him as one of the perfect votes in the House fighting wasteful government spending. McClintock is a member of the House Judiciary Committee where he serves as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement and also serves on the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government. He is a senior member of the House Natural Resources Committee where he serves on the Subcommittee on Federal Lands, which he chaired from 2015 to 2018, and on the Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife, and Fisheries, which he chaired from 2011 to 2015. The Congressman is also a member of the House Budget Committee and has proposed major fiscal reforms to curb unauthorized appropriations, control mandatory spending, balance the budget and protect the nation's credit. Prior to his election to Congress, McClintock served 22 years in the California legislature, where he became one of its most recognized conservative leaders. He twice received the Republican nomination for State Controller, narrowly missing election in 2002 by 23/100ths of one percent. He ran as the conservative standard bearer for Governor in California's historic recall election in 2003. - Addison McDowell proudly represents North Carolina's 6th Congressional District. Motivated by the tragic loss of his younger brother, Luke, to a fentanyl overdose, McDowell's top priority in Congress is to tackle the drug crisis and strengthen border security to protect families and communities from the dangers posed by illegal immigration. Addison currently serves on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, the Natural Resources Committee, and the Budget Committee. Through these committee assignments, he is fighting to make sure the critical needs of North Carolina's Sixth District are met. Prior to Congress, Addison's public service included serving on staff for Congressman (now U.S. Senator) Ted Budd and Congressman Richard Hudson, where he spent each day helping constituents in need. Addison earned his Bachelors of Arts degree in Political Science and Government from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. During this time, he met his wife, Rachel, through YoungLife Ministry. A native of Lexington, North Carolina, Addison and Rachel now reside in Davie County, where they are raising their two daughters and are active in their local church.

Are you struggling to buy a home in today's market? Did you know that a staggering 44% of total closing costs for a new home are government fees or taxes? In this eye-opening episode of The Brian Nichols Show, host Brian Nichols sits down with Pete Sepp, president of the National Taxpayers Union, to uncover the hidden costs of homeownership that are making the American dream increasingly unattainable. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart Pete Sepp reveals the shocking truth behind the skyrocketing costs of buying a home, exposing how government policies and fees are silently inflating prices. From transfer taxes to mandated fees, listeners will learn about the myriad ways the government is working against potential homeowners. But why are these costs so hidden, and why does it seem like no one is talking about them? The conversation takes a critical look at proposed solutions, such as Kamala Harris's suggestion of giving $25,000 to all first-time homebuyers. Sepp explains why this band-aid approach might actually worsen the problem, drawing parallels to how federal aid has affected college tuition costs. Is there a better way to address the housing affordability crisis? Brian and Pete dive deep into the cultural shift towards quick-fix solutions in politics and society at large. They explore the generational divide in understanding these issues and discuss the potential consequences of short-term thinking. Are we setting up future generations for failure with our current approach to housing policy? Finally, the episode concludes with a call to action for listeners. Pete Sepp emphasizes the importance of questioning government policies and their impact on housing affordability. He encourages viewers to get involved in local and state-level taxpayer groups to demand accountability.

When Microsoft Corp. won a $94 million income tax refund from the California Office of Tax Appeals in February, it was considered one of the biggest victories for corporate taxpayers ever in California. Now it's unclear if Microsoft will get that refund, or if other multinationals with similar claims will either. A law passed in June reversed the ruling upholding Microsoft's refund, and the first two lawsuits challenging the reversal landed last week. The intent of the new law (S.B. 167) is to avoid $1.3 billion in refunds to companies with similar claims pending for past tax years and $200 million a year in refunds going forward. The law does this by declaring that the California Franchise Tax Board's position in Microsoft's case pertaining to the tax treatment of income repatriated from abroad has been law since it issued a legal notice on the subject in 2006. The newly filed lawsuits from the California Taxpayers Association and National Taxpayers Union make it unclear when the dust will settle. On this episode of Talking Tax, Bloomberg Tax senior correspondent Laura Mahoney talks to Gina Rodriquez and Josh Booth, principals in the Sacramento office of global tax services firm Ryan LLC, about what the tax changes mean for other multinationals and for California.
