Is the American tax code a fair engine for growth, or a "second estate" where the rich choose whether or not to pay? We are often told that the top 1% of earners already pay 40% of all taxes, while nearly half of Americans pay nothing at all. Legal scholar Ray Madoff argues that this statistic is a deliberate "bait-and-switch" designed to confuse the public. The reality is that the truly rich often have little to no income to tax, living instead on borrowed gains and tax-free inheritances.In this episode, Madoff joins Luigi Zingales and Bethany McLean to discuss her new book "The Second Estate: How The Tax Code Made An American Aristocracy" covering how and why our current tax system allowed the ultra-wealthy to opt out altogether. She argues that to fix the system, we shouldn't just raise rates, we need to bring inheritances and investment gains directly into the income tax system and eliminate the "cover" provided by a broken estate tax.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We'll cover: Why Ohio lawmakers believe caps are necessary How inflation-based limits would work Potential savings for homeowners Concerns raised by school districts and city officials Whether this type of legislation might spread to other states Plus, I'll share details about our Upside Program, designed to give homeowners all the options they need to make smart real estate decisions—no matter what the market or tax landscape looks like.

In this episode of the Mic On Podcast, Seun Okinbaloye speaks with Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, who explains Nigeria's new tax laws and why they aim to fix multiple outdated taxes rather than increase burdens.He says most Nigerians will pay less from 2026, with clear exemptions for low-income earners, students, and retirees. Oyedele stresses fairness in capturing all economic activity and insists the reforms will lower costs for key sectors while improving transparency.Dismissing claims of overtaxation, he argues that Nigeria's real challenge is low productivity and poor data, not tax rates. He urges support for reforms to avoid repeating past policy failures.Guest:Taiwo Oyedele(Chairman, Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy & Tax Reform)

Iowa Business Report Tuesday EditionNov. 04, 2025       Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform on the partial federal government shutdown and its effect on the federal workforce. 

In this episode of ITR Live, Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson dive into two big stories shaping Iowa's political and fiscal landscape: Randy Feenstra's official entry into the 2026 governor's race and Iowa's sharp rise in national tax competitiveness rankings.The conversation opens with Feenstra's long-anticipated announcement. Chris and John break down what the move means for the Republican field, why Feenstra is considered the frontrunner, and how his campaign message of “America First for Iowa” could play out on the state level. They question what the slogan really means in policy terms and whether Iowa voters will see it as substance or branding.The hosts then turn to the Tax Foundation's new State Business Tax Climate Index, where Iowa jumped from 20th to 17th in overall tax competitiveness — a major improvement from its 44th-place ranking just a few years ago. Chris and John explain what that ranking means, how Iowa's flat tax continues to boost the state's position, and where more work is needed — particularly on property taxes.As the episode unfolds, the discussion moves from rankings to reform. The hosts preview property tax debates coming in the 2026 legislative session and emphasize Governor Kim Reynolds' continued push to apply the same fiscal discipline that delivered Iowa's flat tax to local governments. They also highlight the ongoing need for efficiency and consolidation among Iowa's 99 counties and local entities to reduce costs for taxpayers.The episode closes with a spirited exchange about South Dakota's new property tax task force and why the key to lasting relief isn't tinkering with formulas — it's cutting government spending. As always, Chris and John remind listeners that the solution to Iowa's tax challenges begins and ends with responsible budgeting and smaller government.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Trump and his administration will be using the IRS to go after the left. The report indicates that Trump is “overhauling the Internal Revenue Service's crime investigation unit to better target left-leaning groups and donors.” It comes on the heels of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent threating to go after dissenting political groups, calling the murder of Charlie Kirk a domestic 9/11. He intends to use the Treasury Department to track political opponents like Treasury followed terrorist financial networks after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Economics expert Dr. Bill Black will join the show to discuss the weaponization of the IRS and the pending case in front of the US Supreme Court regarding Trump's tariffs. “This Week in Politics” brings political analysts Michael Shure and Mo Kelly to the show to highlight and discuss key stories.

In this episode of the Sunlight Tax Podcast, I'm diving into the One Big Beautiful Act, a major tax law that passed this summer. I found a great, nonpartisan article from the Brookings Institution and the Tax Policy Center, and with the authors' permission. It's called “When Tax Laws Defy Public Opinion: What OBBBA Reveals.” The piece lays out the short-term wins of this law, but also the long-term effects on things like healthcare and our social safety net. What really struck me is the gap between what people want and what lawmakers actually do, and how much wealth drives those decisions. For me, the big lesson is that we need to frame fiscal issues in ways that connect with the public, and ultimately, push for campaign finance reform to get legislation that reflects real public priorities. Also mentioned in this episode: 01:05 Introduction to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act 02:34 The Societal Impact of the Tax Bill 04:44 Public Opinion vs. Legislative Action 07:29 Disparities in Wealth and Policy Preferences 10:31 The Importance of Campaign Finance Reform   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, review and share it!

With New York Senator Chuck Schumer pushing for a politically charged shutdown to appease his voter base, Norquist explains the dynamics at play, including how Senate Democrats like Catherine Cortez Masto, John Fetterman, and Independent Angus King crossed party lines to support the Republican funding bill.

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! We’re joined by Grover Norquist from Americans for Tax Reform to talk about the looming government shutdown and the deeper political dynamics unfolding in Washington. Norquist breaks down the current state of play, highlighting the Republican-led House’s push for a two-month continuing resolution to maintain flat spending levels, while Senate Democrats appear poised to block it in pursuit of major increases in spending. He explains how this political standoff may impact federal funding, especially if Democrats refuse to cooperate without adding $1.5 trillion in new expenditures. Norquist also critiques Democratic leadership for what he sees as a willingness to shut down the government for political leverage. He compares the moment to a chaotic scene from Animal House, where futile actions are embraced. For more on these budget battles and fiscal policy, Norquist encourages listeners to visit ATR.org and follow him on Twitter at @GroverNorquist. It's a fast-moving story with high stakes in D.C.
