An issue we never talk about -- and don't want to -- is how the federal government collects tax revenue. We have a voluntary tax compliance system in America, and it turns out that there are a lot of folks who cut corners or outright cheat the system when it comes to paying their taxes. This is a big problem. America loses $600 billion dollars a year in unpaid taxes that are owed under the law. $163 billion of those dollars come from the very richest 1% of us. That segment from the richest Americans is more than we spend on housing, homeland security, and the Department of Justice …combined. And the total that we are losing from all that tax cheating is almost as much as we pay for Defense. But of course the solution it's not something that most Americans like to think about or find particularly appealing. 52% of Americans have an unfavorable view of the IRS. And let's face it, no one enjoys the process of paying their taxes or likes to think about ways to give the IRS more teeth. But that is exactly the direction the Democrats have been trying to suggest going in the Build Back Better bill. The mere suggestion has opened up a conversation about why this issue needs more attention and what we can do about it. Our guest Seth Hanlon is a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress. He has testified before Congress, and his work has been cited in the Financial Times, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and other publications. He has been featured in CNBC, NPR, C-SPAN and other outlets to discuss tax issues.

Seth Hanlon from the liberal Center for American Progress and Kyle Pomerleau from the conservative American Enterprise Institute discuss the Build Back Better Act, with the conversation moderated by MarketWatch's Victor Reklaitis.

This week on “The Tent,” Daniella checks in with Seth Hanlon, senior fellow for Economic Policy and former special assistant to President Obama, on the state of the economy. They talk about how the Build Back Better Act will help address inflation, and why recent jobs reports and declining unemployment show just how far the economic recovery has already come. Daniella also discusses the passage of the historic bipartisan infrastructure bill, and its impact on communities across the country. 

This week, Joshua Holland kicks off the show with an important correction to some lazy journalism about inflation--and to the destructive conventional wisdom that it is fuelling.Then we are joined by Seth Hanlon, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress and former advisor to Barack Obama, to discuss the $3.5 trillion infrastructure and jobs framework that Senate Democrats agreed to this week. It is, as Joe Biden said of Obamacare, a big f**king deal. Finally, we speak with journalist Kim Kelly about a major strike that has been going on for almost four months in Alabama that has gotten virtually no coverage in the national media. Kim tells us that in a deep South that is notoriously hostile toward organized labor, workers at Warrior Met's Brookwood coal mine have been the targets of multiple attacks but have so far held firm. PlaylistMarcy Playground: "Sex And Candy"Heartless Bastards: "Only For You"Paula Fuga: "Too Hot Mama" 

Hoy en Día a Día, comenzamos conversando con Seth Hanlon, miembro principal del Center for American Progress, sobre el presupuesto de 6 billones de dólares propuesto por Joe Biden: “La secretaria de prensa de la Casa Blanca, dijo que el presupuesto va a reflejar la intención del presidente Biden de continuar sus prioridades para lograr más trabajo una vez que se tenga bajo control la pandemia… El presidente está pidiendo este presupuesto para atender algunas prioridades en seguridad familiar, infraestructura y demás”, nos comentó. La presidenta del Partido Encuentro Ciudadano y defensora de Derechos Humanos, Delsa Solórzano, nos habló sobre la actitud del régimen ante el avance de las investigaciones de la CPI por crímenes de lesa humanidad en Venezuela: “El régimen está dando patadas de ahogado que no sirven para nada… Durante los meses de abril y mayo hemos visto a Saab introduciendo todo tipo de escritos en la CPI, incluso uno diciendo que todo lo generado en Venezuela era una matriz de opinión que venía de unas cuentas falsas en Twitter”, dijo, y destacó que “La CPI debe estar por tomar una decisión con respecto a Venezuela muy pronto”. Desde Bogotá nos atendió el periodista de la redacción judicial de El Tiempo, Julián Ríos Monroy, para hablarnos sobre la cancelación de la moción de censura contra el ministro de Defensa colombiano: “La mayoría de congresistas que votaron a favor de que el ministro permaneciera en el cargo eran parte del Centro Democrático, que es el partido de gobierno, y otros movimientos aliados… Algunos argumentaron que no es buen momento para ponerse en contra de la gestión de Molano, por lo que decidieron emitir su voto de no a la moción de censura”, nos contó. También nos atendió el periodista y escritor Jorge Ramos, quien nos habló sobre su libro – y la experiencia que lo llevó a escribirlo – ‘17 minutos: entrevista con el dictador’: “La entrevista no salió como ellos esperaban, porque acusó a Maduro de asesino, de tener prisioneros políticos y de realizar fraude en las elecciones… A Maduro no le gustó y paró la entrevista a los 17min”, contó, y agregó que “Nos quitaron todo lo que teníamos encima… El problema fue pensar que el dictador no iba a tratarnos como un dictador”. Además, dijo que “El gobierno de Maduro puso una cámara al lado de cada una de las nuestras y empezó a editar su propia entrevista al mismo tiempo” y esa fue la entrevista que salió al público. Y para cerrar, conversamos con Tomás González-Martín, redactor de la sección Deportes de ABC, sobre la renuncia de Zinedine Zidane como presidente del Real Madrid: “Se va, porque como le pasó a Vicente del Bosque luego de ganar el Mundial de 2010 y la Eurocopa de 2012, tiene que haber una renovación dentro del equipo. Se prevé que el Real Madrid despida a cuatro jugadores y venda a cinco más”, comentó, agregando que “Zidane no quiere ser parte de esta revolución”.

With President Joe Biden’s signature, the American Rescue Plan Act became law on Thursday of this week. This wide-ranging package of relief measures—which despite garnering widespread bipartisan support among voters, passed both chambers of Congress without a single Republican vote—authorizes a set of landmark expansions of existing income security policies and programs—including an historic expansion of the Child Tax Credit, that for the next year at least, turns the CTC into a fully available child allowance that’s estimated to cut child poverty in half by establishing a guaranteed minimum income for families with children. To break down the major income-boosting elements in the American Rescue Plan Act, now that help is on the way—and for a look at what families can expect to receive in the way of economic relief—Rebecca sat down with Seth Hanlon, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress and a former advisor to President Obama for tax policy.

We hear from Seth Hanlon, a veteran wonk and bureaucrat in the seat of the Federal Government. We discuss the challenges of working from home, the 'all hands on deck' environment in DC right now, and what our elected representatives from both parties are coalescing on in terms of economic recovery programming.

This week on Off-Kilter, we break down the latest Trump budget with CAP’s Seth Hanlon and Lily Roberts, and Bobby Kogan, chief mathematician of the Senate Budget Committee.

Rebecca talks with CAP budget gurus Seth Hanlon and Lily Roberts about Part Deux of Trump’s Cruelty Olympics, aka his budget proposal, which came out earlier this week—and Indivisible’s Chad Bolt returns for another installment of ICYMI.

The New York Times' story, “Deep Security Breach Cripples N.S.A.”, is one with massive implications. A group of hackers called ‘The Shadow Brokers’ worked its way into the National Security Agency’s databases, stole cyberweapons used by the U.S. to spy on other countries, and then leaked those cyberweapons on the internet. Morgan Wright, an expert on cybersecurity, cyberterrorism, identity theft and privacy, talks about just how serious and dangerous this situation is. Seth Hanlon, former special assistant to President Obama for economic policy, shares his thoughts on the latest developments with the GOP's House and Senate tax plans.

Bill Press is out so Igor Volsky (CAP Action) is filling in. He welcomes Wendy Gooditis, Elizabeth Guzman, Carolyn Fiddler and Seth Hanlon to discuss the sexual harassment allegations against GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore, historic victories in the Virginia House of Delegates, why women wait so long to speak up against men in powerful positions and the lies Republicans are telling about their tax plan - the entire Friday edition of the Bill Press Show!

As we await details of the GOP’s tax plan, Igor and Michele sit down with Seth Hanlon, a senior fellow with CAP’s economic policy team and former tax policy adviser to President Obama. Seth breaks down who the bill helps and who it doesn’t (hint: the middle class). Then, our hosts are joined by Nick Hanauer: entrepreneur, 1%er and fierce advocate in the fight against economic inequality. Nick explains why trickle-down economics simply doesn’t work and how raising the minimum wage has boosted the economy and created jobs.

Listen to the Joint Economic Committee Democrats' new episode of “Opportunity Agenda,” a podcast that furthers the conversation on how to build an economic future where all American families have a fair shot at getting ahead. Episode 3, “Debunking the GOP Tax Plan,” unpacks the Republican proposal that would give massive tax breaks to the wealthy at the expense of working Americans. The episode features Seth Hanlon, senior fellow at The Center For American Progress and former special assistant to President Obama for economic policy at the White House National Economic Council.

We talk with Seth Halon from the Center for American Progress about President Donald Trump's proposed tax reform.
