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!

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.
