"Tax Fairness for Homeowners": "We need to keep senior citizens in their homes or disabled folks or veterans so they get to keep their homes by doing something for the property taxes so they don't get taxed out of their houses." - State Senator Bill DeMoraIn this episode, we look into the pressing issue of the housing crisis and its impact on property taxes in Ohio. Joining us is Ohio State Senator Bill DeMora of the 25th District, who shares his journey from being the "accidental senator" to his current role in public office.Together, we dissect the challenges posed by skyrocketing housing costs and lack of availability, leading to a dramatic 35% increase in property taxes following a recent reappraisal process. Senator DeMora provides insight into the complex property tax system, touching on the intricacies of state and local revenue impacts, as well as the pivotal role taxes play in supporting essential community services such as schools, fire departments, and police.Our discussion also highlights the crucial need for legislative action to address these taxing issues, as citizens grapple with burdensome levies while demanding fair solutions. We encourage you to get involved in the political process, be it through testifying in committees or participating in local government meetings, further underlining the importance of civic engagement in instituting change. If you like this episode, please let us know. We appreciate the feed back, and your support of offset costs of producing the podcast!Key TakeawaysUnderstanding Property Taxes: How the rise in housing costs and lack of availability have sparked a significant increase in property taxes. Senator DeMora explained the appraisal process affecting both personal and business properties.Legislation & Relief Efforts: The need for practical solutions to address the tax burden, like the suggested circuit breaker, raising the homestead exemption, and freezing property taxes for seniors. It's crucial for legislative action to keep pace with the changing demands.Civic Engagement: The importance of getting involved in local government processes.

Send us a textJeff and Scott chat with Rita de la Feria on tax fairness. Fairness is in the eye of the beholder, and tax fairness, in particular, appears to be particularly sensitive to whose eye is beholding.

This week on CounterSpin: You may remember the testimony: former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz pouting to a Senate hearing on the company's union-busting in which he was referred to as a billionaire that using that “moniker constantly is unfair”: “Yes, I have billions of dollars — I earned it. No one gave it to me. And I've shared it constantly with the people of Starbucks.” The delusion that a billionaire “earned” every penny of it, or that it is shared equitably with workers, may be special to billionaires, but the broader notion — that “the government only helps some people; other people do it on their own” is conveyed throughout corporate media's narrative, even as it's corrosive to an understanding of democracy, much less the fight for it. The increasing influence of not merely the rich, but the super rich, on the politics and policy we all have to live with is an urgent story, if not a new one. Yet somehow, elite media seem less and less interested in it. We'll talk with David Kass, executive director of the Americans for Tax Fairness campaign, about that on this week's show. Plus Janine Jackson takes a quick look at some recent press coverage of Trump's illegal funding freeze, immigration raids and the Gaza death toll.   The post David Kass on Billionaire Election-Buying appeared first on KPFA.

The mission is to ensure tax and financial fairness for Americans abroad by ending Citizenship-Based Taxation. Brandon Mitchener, executive director of the campaign group Tax Fairness for Americans Abroad, explains why the system needs to change.

Part 1:We talk with Will Rice, Communications Consultant with Americans for Tax Fairness.We discuss how corporations avoid paying their fair share of the tax burden. The Trump tax cuts even cut their taxes (and those of their rich shareholders) even further. The top 5 executives of large corporations are paid more than the corporation pays pay in taxes, for example. We discuss some of the voidance schemes, including stock buybacks, and gaming the stock market by executives.Part 2:We speak with Lynn Parramore about Big Pharma's ongoing drug cost scams and rapacity. Pharmaceutical companies often claim that drug costs are high because of the cost of research. This is not true. Most of the profits are distributed as shareholder dividends, executive compensation, and for marketing. The drug companies are price gouging. A serious discussion of the consequences: high prices in US, and lower, controlled prices in the rest of the world.  WNHNFM.ORG   production

Western governments say that they are working toward a net-zero future. But are those same governments propping up fossil fuel companies with billions of dollars in subsidies? And how can we change that? On today's episode we talk to Katrina Miller, the Executive Director of Canadians for Tax Fairness about their new report, Taxes and the Path to a Green Economy, which is all about how the Canadian tax system continues to subsidize fossil fuel companies and how to change that. Katrina has worked for over twenty years to win environmental and social justice improvements at every level of government, collaborating with a wide array of labour, community, and academic experts, and helping organizations and individuals hone their skills and strategies.

Please do more. You kept asking ‘why' to all of his moral assertions. While he has no answer, I think if he was pressed hard enough they would have to admit: ‘because the pie is fixed'. Dark ages mentality. Thoughts?1:19:16 Could Bidens plan to price control medication lead to more socialization of R&D?1:20:42 After listening to your books and others, I have come to hold that the best measure of a currencies health is it's purchasing power. Is that an accurate way to think about it? The USD seems to be the healthiest at that rate.1:22:03 A country's self esteem depends on its recognizing individual rights. The West values individualism implicitly but increasingly rejects it explicitly. How does that contradiction affect your view of the West's survival?1:32:41 People doesn't know that not all Muslim are the same, there is tons and tons of different interpretations of Islam, not defending the religion but treating 1 billion Muslim as one unit is not wise1:36:30 I'm 17 years old, and I think many kids my age would be interested in Objectivism but wouldn't want to read long novels like Atlas or Fountainhead. What videos or books should I recommend to introduce them to Objectivism?1:39:40 What makes adopting Objectivism worth the effort? I think most people would understimate that effort.1:42:15 Western civilization might not be that fragile. It seems magnificently resilient given that everyone is operating under bad ideas.1:43:42 Hard to say if it sounds better than before without doing a direct comparison ... but is sounds very good.1:44:57 What did you and your family do during the ?Six Day War in 1967?1:47:23 Thanks for your answer about the benefits of Objectivism. I would add realistic clarity as a benefit. There's rampant confustion in the world today from religions, including woke. Objectivism can cut through the crap.1:48:02 When you were growing up in Israel did everyone think America was heaven?1:49:26 Please make a custom sound for Michael Knowles. Whatever the death of civilization sounds like - a whimper?1:50:07 Do you think the bad guys have opted for a managed decline because they cant get their abrupt apocalyptic collapse of western civilization?1:51:38 Michael Knowles gives me those slick Nick Fuentes vibes. That 1220 clip he did originally came from Nick Fuentes.1:52:15 Max Stirner made that argument (he was a complete clown)

Happy 420 Day (the annual day of action for Marijuana legalization). Unfortunately, in Wisconsin this freedom remains elusive and is costing the state $165 million in revenue. We recap Tax Day this Tuesday where Citizen Action released a new report from Americans for Tax Fairness which shows that when billionaires and corporations dodge taxes, American families pay the price in threats to critical social supports such as Medicare, Medicaid, and food assistance. Congress needs to pass President Biden's wealth tax and reject the House GOP's push for making permanent the Trump tax cut. We welcome Joe Evica, the chief steward of the union at CUNA Mutual in Madison (OPEIU Local 39), to discuss a strike vote their members took on Wednesday and the media event they will have on Monday, April 24th at 6pm at the South Central Federation of Labor in Madison. If you live in Dane County, the union urges you to attend the event to show community support. The Milwaukee Common Council unanimously voted this week to demand the giant hospital chain Ascension re-open the birthing and delivery unit at St Francis Hospital in Milwaukee and called on them to stop disinvesting from the City. We discuss a Green New Deal Resolution to be reintroduced in Congress and its critical importance to dealing with the climate crisis and creating family supporting union jobs for everyone across Wisconsin. Robert also attended an event with mayors and Governor Evers to tout the opportunity of federal money for climate change from Inflation Reduction Act, Infrastructure Law. We also received more news this week exposing the increasing Mississipification of Wisconsin by the GOP, as new data revealed the state is now in bottom 10 for public college funding. Finally, craven Republicans continue their ugly smear campaign against long time Racine criminal justice and police reformer John Tate II

As Tax Day approaches, we look at the hazards of extreme wealth disparity. In his State of the Union address this year, President Biden called for the passage of the Billionaire Minimum Income Tax Act, saying that billionaires shouldn't pay less in taxes than teachers and firefighters. But that injustice is only one datapoint in a decades-long trend of ever-widening inequality between the wealthiest people and everyone else. In this episode, Sarah Christopherson, legislative and policy director for Americans for Tax Fairness, discusses the ill effects and ongoing risks to society posed by a small group of individuals having the raw purchasing power to buy elections, social media platforms, and even the Supreme Court. And Kate Ward, an assistant professor of Christian ethics at Marquette University, lays out why Catholic social teaching opposes stratospheric wealth inequality, citing a moral tradition that stretches all the way from the Hebrew Scriptures to Pope Francis. She also offers her view on the kind of just tax code the church's social teaching would support. You can learn more about tax justice, wealth disparity, and our guests in the links below.

Marjorie Taylor Greene “came out of nowhere” to become one of the Republican Party's most influential powerhouses, journalist and author Robert Draper, who writes for the New York Times Magazine, tells host Andy Levy in this week's episode of The New Abnormal. “Republicans kind of wanted to kick her to the curb immediately,” Draper, author of the new book Weapons of Mass Delusion: When the Republican Party Lost its Mind, said. Then, professor at the University of Florida Michael McDonald, who specializes in American elections and is the author of a new book, From Pandemic to Insurrection: Voting in the 2020 US Presidential Election, says Trump's refusal to accept that he lost the 2020 election has dramatically altered American politics. Also on the podcast, guest co-host Maura Quint, Tax March co-founder and member of Americans for Tax Fairness, reveals what America could learn from Liz Truss. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Is Tucker Carlson really a true believer in the MAGA world? Has he taken a dive too deep in the Republican rabbit hole? Or is this all just a performance for the ratings? For the money? For the clout? It's a vexing question, according to host Andy Levy on this week's episode of political podcast The New Abnormal. “We've had many conversations about the performative aspect of this and trying to figure out who we think are true believers,” Levy says to guest, the author and CNN political commentator S.E. Cupp. Also on the podcast, Levy talks to guest podcast host Maura Quint, co-founder of Tax March and the campaign director for Americans for Tax Fairness, about a recent Gallup poll finding that trust in the Supreme Court is at a record low. Then Levy tells Daily Beast politics reporter Zachary Petrizzo that the only surprising part of that New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman's new Trump book was that Trump aides were apparently taken aback by his crude, transphobic behavior.
