Podcasts about taxing

Top Democrats in the Vermont House and Senate say that strengthening the state's primary care system is a top priority, plus some safety tips for smarter snow shoveling that protects our hearts

For the first podcast of the new year, Esther is joined by former podcast host Sen. Mike Tipping to preview the legislative session and talk about some priorities, including health care access, taxing the richest Mainers more fairly, and combating ICE’s terrifying tactics closer to home. They also talk about what’s been happening in Minnesota… The post ICE's unpopularity, taxing the rich and MLK with Sen. Mike Tipping first appeared on Maine Beacon.

Threats against ICE agents are escalating. NBA coaches speak out against common sense. Minnesota politicians speak out against immigration enforcement. Venezuelan oil headed toward the U.S. as reports of interesting tech the U.S. apparently used during Nicolás Maduro's capture. Iran pushes back against President Trump's threats to defend Iranian citizens. Why are Democrats suddenly speaking out against Hamas? Are Western countries about to ban X?

When fraud pressure rises, carriers tighten controls. The hidden cost: cycle time balloons, adjusters burn out, and your best customers feel like suspects. That's how you leak value—quietly—over quarters. In this episode of the Insurtech Leadership Podcast, host Joshua R. Hollander speaks with Clearspeed's CEO Alex Martin about how his view that the fix isn't “better fraud analytics.” It's a trust layer that changes routing early: accelerate clean cases, escalate exceptions. Watch live if you're reworking FNOL, underwriting triage, or straight-through processing.

We lead off with Trump's gun boat diplomacy in Venezuela and the shocking bloodshed perpetrated by ICE in Minneapolis. What does it mean and how is the resistance to authoritarianism responding so far? We welcome State Representative Ryan Clancy to discuss three game changing progressive tax bills that would transform how Wisconsin funds K-12 schools, local governments, and other public services. If enacted, Wisconsin would become the first state to fund K-12 schools primarily through a progressive income tax, leading to a 44% reduction in the median Wisconsin property tax bill. The two other bills restore Wisconsin's estate tax for those valued higher than $15M, and create a new local option income tax on the ultra wealthy. We review new analysis by Wisconsin Watch that 46% of State's private school students get public-financed vouchers and 96% are in religious schools. We close with the U.S. House revolt against Trump and Speaker Johnson on the expiring ACA affordability subsidies. Nine Republicans defied Trump and Johnson, forcing the vote, all from swing districts, but not Derrick Van Ordin. Does it have a chance in the U.S. Senate? At the state level, some legislative Republicans are advancing a bill requiring transparent hospital pricing for “shoppable services” that has split the big corporate business interests from the hospitals. Is there an opening among Republicans and corporate interests to rein in Wisconsin's astronomical hospital prices, which are the highest in the Midwest and the 5th highest in the country? Robert also asks why Senator Chris Larson is the only Democrat co-sponsoring the legislation?

Board games. Maduro court case. Taxing billionaires.

Here we go again—Washington Governor Bob Ferguson is pushing a "millionaire's tax" that'll supposedly only hit the wealthy. Spoiler alert: once they get this through their packed state Supreme Court, everyone's getting taxed. This is the classic slippery slope playbook, and businesses are already eyeing the exits just like they did in California. We break down how this 9.9% income tax proposal completely ignores the state constitution (rejected 13 times, but who's counting?), the mass exodus of businesses and billionaires fleeing to Texas and Florida, and why this blue state spending addiction never ends well. Meanwhile, Washington has some of the highest gas prices in the nation—a regressive tax that crushes low-income families—but Democrats want to lecture us about "fairness." Jeff Bezos already bounced to Florida saving a billion dollars. How many more businesses will follow? When does the madness stop? Drop a comment and let me know if you think this tax stays at a million or creeps down to hit everyone. Subscribe for more reality checks on failed blue state policies.

The Taxing Toll Of TaxesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow is floating the idea of an increase in the land transfer tax, an amount that's owed when a house is purchased. Its total is based on the value of the house at the time of purchase, meaning the higher the price, the higher the tax.The tax generates income for the city, which in turn could fund social programs for those in need. But some fiscal think tanks warn the increase in tax on high ticket items could drive out the rich from the city.Host Alan Carter speaks to Mike Moffatt founding director of the University of Ottawa's Missing Middle Initiative to discuss how governments can strike a balance.

I was having breakfast with my son, daughter-in-law and grand child earlier in the week. He is 25, she is 24, and baby is 5 weeks old.They're both pretty successful in their jobs - both in sales, on commission, so very much performance-based - and they both work very hard. They are ambitious. They want a big house with a big family, and plenty of money to live off. Pretty normal ambitions, really, and once upon a time not so impossible to achieve.I'm extremely proud of them both for having gone against the grain and had their first child so young. I'm also proud of how they have both adapted to parenthood. They live with me, so I see every day how utterly devoted they are, how much effort they put in, how they are learning and flourishing. The way Millie has thrown herself into motherhood and totally dedicated herself to her child is a thing to behold. Breast feeding on demand, everything. It really is a joy to see.Because they've started a family young, there is a very real chance they will go on to have a very big family. They both say that is what they want. My son, Samuel, has now gone back to work, while Millie is on maternity leave. But having both made several successful deals, and with a backlog of outstanding commission coming payable too, they found themselves between them paying £26,000 of taxes last month - 50% of the £53,000 they earned was taken, when you factor in the student loans they have to repay. (They might get some of that back at the end of the year).To earn that kind of money in a month at such a young age is just brilliant - I see how hard both of them work, the hours they put in, early morning after early morning, late night after late night, the persistence - and I'm proud of them. It is not easy. None of their university colleagues are doing anything like as well, at least in financial terms.With the bonanza month they both had, they could have paid off significant chunks of their student loans. But no such luck. The tax man cometh first.Meanwhile, they are so far from being able to buy a house for their young family - not just in the area they grew up, but anywhere in Greater London - it's a joke. I like having them live with me, don't get me wrong, but the fact that even a couple as successful as this are miles away from owning a property of reasonable enough size to start a family makes my blood boil.We live in a Victorian terraced house in South London that was built 150 years ago for a working-class man and his family. Yet a working-class man could never afford to buy this house now, even though it's 150 years old - never mind the highest-earning couple in their peer group.The most commonly given reason why people do not have bigger families earlier in life is expense. And what is the greatest expense in your life? Altogether now, “your government”. By far and away. Lower that expense and people will have bigger families again, earlier in life. (Even the cost of housing itself - the second biggest expense in a typical life - would come down with less government - less planning permission, less building regulation, less market intervention for political ends, less fiat and so on).Quite a few of the houses in our street are owned by the council. An old lady who lived in one of them recently died, and her house was given to a Somali family. So the taxes that Samuel and Millie are paying, and would like to have been able to use towards their own family, are being used to house another family not just from another country, but another continent never mind another culture. I've no doubt their needs are great. They get the house they need. We pay. How many more families not from the UK are we expected to sponsor - and delay/minimize our own procreation for?We are literally taxing our own to enable to the procreation of others. As I say in the title, we are taxing ourselves into oblivion.“Have you ever known taxes to actually go down?” My son asked me.“Well,” I said. “They came down a bit in 1980s under Thatcher”.It might feel relatively recent to me, but that was a good 15 years - half a generation - before my son was born in 2000. And even under Thatcher and Reagan, it's worth remembering, the state actually grew.The state continued to grow in the 90s and 00s, and, by the time you factor in all the various stealth taxes that got introduced, not least fiscal drag - perhaps the most odious of the lot - as well as currency debasement, so did taxes.Now, because of fiscal drag, you see teachers paying higher rates of Income Tax. It's not in any way exceptional in London to earn more than 50 grand. You haven't got a hope of having any kind of lifestyle, if you don't. I dread to think how many Londoners - those that work hard at least - are paying higher rates of tax. And for what?What chance do these people have of buying a home and starting a family?And all this money is being taken to spent on what, exactly? Not potholes, that's for sure.I think the question my son was really asking was, “Is there any chance taxes come down?”Well, if you look at Britain since World War II - actually since World War I - the growth in the state has been relentless and inexorable. So the rise in taxes we must pay has been inexorable. I'm not just talking about Income Tax. As I say, I'm talking about all the stealth taxes and debasement of currency as well. Is there any realistic chance they'll come down? Liz Truss only tried to slash government spending by two and a half percent. And look what that did.It's incredible to think that at the turn of the 20th century taxation - or the state - amounted to less than 10% of GDP.Even if Reform were to win the next election, how would they realistically cut state spending by more than a couple or three percent? The institutional resistance - the blob, the civil service, the quangos, the media - would fight them at every turn. In short, taxes are unlikely to come down by anything meaningful.We cannot get this country purged until the currency collapses. That's the only way I see it happening. It's very sad. If you live in a Third World Country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound is going to be further devalued. The bullion dealer I recommend is The Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here.My son, who is not particularly political, observes the absurdity of it: many people who build wealth, the most productive and talented, are leaving because of high taxes, and we replace net contributors with net takers. The country is systematically driving away the people who create value while importing those who consume it. It's economic suicide by design.As readers of Daylight Robbery will know, I regard taxation as the best measure of freedom there is. The more heavily taxed societies - where obviously there is limited economic freedom - tend to be the societies where there is limited freedom of speech, freedom of movement, freedom of thought, freedom to experiment and all the rest of it.Freedom of movement in the UK is limited by the cost of movement - whether it's transport costs, petrol costs, Stamp Duty, fines, charges, new mileage taxes - all reduce movement. They're all a tax. There might not be laws preventing movement in the way there once were if you were, say, a serf, but taxes give you a similar outcome. They restrict movement - and thus possibility - because people cannot afford to move.You don't need me to demonstrate how freedom of both thought and speech are being attacked. The two-tier justice system sees people committing violent crimes getting released early - indeed often not even getting convicted - while people who just said words get locked up.I'm sorry to say it, but I don't think even Farage and Reform can turn this one around, particularly when Farage is watering a lot of his policies down in order to give the media less to smear him with, and make himself more electorally palatable. Starmer did something not so totally dissimilar.And if something should happen to Farage, what then? What would Reform be without him? I like Richard Tice a lot, but there is not exactly a huge queue of people waiting to fill Farage's boots.Tell someone about this great article.So I come back to my point that I've made on these pages many times. If you are young and wanting to build a good life for yourself, and you want to be rewarded for the hard work you put in, your chance of doing that in the UK is limited. You're best off going somewhere else. Sorry to sound negative. There are many things to be positive about in this world, but the future of taxation and freedom in the UK is not one of them.Remember the golden rule of Daylight Robbery: fix taxation, everything else follows.But there is no sign of us doing that.Until next time,DominicICYMI, here is this week's commentary - also prepping for the North American tax loss trade.And, finally, I appeared on the mighty Tom Woods Show this week.

Some Chicago alders balked at Mayor Brandon Johnson's inclusion of a corporate head tax in his 2026 budget proposal. In response, a group of moderate and conservative city councilors put forth a list of alternative proposals that does not include the tax on businesses; instead they rely on raising taxes on garbage collection and liquor sales, as well as budget cuts, which the mayor rejected in turn. Yesterday, we heard from alders about why they're championing their alternative proposal. Today, In the Loop hears from Julie Dworkin with the Institute for the Public Good and Asha Ransby Sporn with the Black Voter Project for their takes on the alders' plans.

Matt Larosiere and Ivan T. Troll dive into a packed episode, starting with personal updates and a move. They explore the history of the Colt All American and discuss Matt Hoover's legal challenges. The episode covers Caribbean gun trafficking and analyzes a controversial gun seizure image. They critique the Trump administration's NFA contradictions and examine an AP article on mass killings post-Bruen. The ATF's rule on interstate NFA transport is scrutinized, followed by a look at shotguns in military history and a UK man's legal issues over a shotgun photo. They end with discussions on California ammo law, Rep. Ilhan Omar's gun control, and Florida's gun law repeal.

This week's Mark and Pete episode dives into the brilliantly baffling state of modern Britain and beyond. We begin with the latest UK budget, where rising beer duty and new hospitality taxes threaten the future of hundreds of pubs across the nation. Why is the beating heart of British community life being priced out? Mark and Pete explore the humour, frustration, and cultural loss behind the numbers — from village locals to city taverns.Then we cross the Atlantic to a bizarre headline from Virginia: a raccoon found raiding a liquor store and discovered passed out, completely drunk. Is it a one-off curiosity — or a worrying sign civilisation has now influenced wildlife in the worst possible ways?Finally, the West End triumph of the new Paddington musical prompts one question: if a polite bear can sing and dance, what would a Rachel Reeves or Nigel Farage musical look like? 

In this episode of Good Morning Liberty, host Nate Thurston returns after a brief hiatus to discuss various major happenings, including the potential Netflix acquisition of Warner Brothers, the impact of antitrust laws, and the economic consequences. Nate critiques the concept of antitrust laws, citing them as anti-American and anti-capitalism while explaining how historical market shifts, like Netflix's rise over Blockbuster, demonstrate the dynamic nature of markets. Furthermore, the episode digs into political reactions from figures like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, the role of government in business consolidations, and implications for consumer choice and competition. Additional topics include recent revelations from Venezuela, healthcare cost proposals from Josh Hawley, and public reaction to the potential merger. The show wraps up with an examination of Dan Goldman's 'Robinhood Act' proposal aimed at taxing billionaires' lines of credit, scrutinizing its feasibility and economic rationale. 00:00 Intro 01:46 Upcoming Topics and Antitrust Laws 05:33 Netflix and Warner Brothers Merger 13:03 Government's Role in Antitrust 16:42 Public Reactions and Criticisms 23:49 Right-Wing Concerns and Free Market Debate 35:41 Exploring Anti-Competitive Barriers 36:20 The Rise of Netflix 37:10 Debating Antitrust Laws 40:34 The Blockbuster Monopoly 43:28 Netflix's Market Disruption 46:55 The Future of Streaming Content 52:44 Taxing the Rich: The Robinhood Act 01:08:40 Final Thoughts and Sign-Off

Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick takes a deep dive into the history and necessity of taxation, connecting the Tudor reign of Henry VII to the modern crisis of inequality in the UK.With the Green Party surging past Labour in recent polls by promising to "tax the rich," we explore why this idea is about more than just funding public services—it's about democracy itself. Nick draws a parallel between the "overmighty nobles" of the 15th century, whose private armies threatened the crown, and today's billionaires, whose vast wealth allows them to purchase political influence and bypass democratic norms.From the dismantling of the post-war social democratic consensus to the devastating impact of austerity (or "de-development") on British society, we ask: Can a society survive when capital has captured the state?Key Topics:The Green Surge: Zack Polanski and the political shift to the left.Henry VII's Strategy: How taxing the nobility prevented civil war and consolidated power.Rentier Capitalism: Why "lazy money" prefers property to innovation.Austerity as De-development: The stealth privatization of British life.The Threat to Democracy: How extreme wealth inequality destabilizes nations.Explaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

In today's explosive episode, we dive headfirst into the chaos of the UK Autumn Budget 2025 – a day that started with high drama and ended with Chancellor Rachel Reeves facing her toughest grilling yet. Just minutes before she rose in the House of Commons to deliver her fiscal blueprint, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) dropped a bombshell: the national budget is set to balloon by a staggering £29 billion by 2029-30. Was it a deliberate leak from Labour insiders, a Tory sabotage, or just bureaucratic bungling? We unpack the fallout, the finger-pointing, and what it means for your wallet. Hosted on Acast.

As global inequality reaches staggering new heights, South Africa, Brazil, and Spain have joined forces under the Global Coalition to Tax the Super-Rich—a historic push to reclaim public power from private wealth. Oxfam South Africa's G20 Senior Policy Advisor, Isobel Frye, joins us to unpack what this bold move means for justice, equity, and the future of development funding.

Zohran Mamdani — the Ugandan-born Muslim socialist making a serious run for New York City mayor — is sparking national debate. Is he the city's next AOC… or a dangerous radical? In this episode, Henry and Danny break down Mamdani's platform and persona — from his rent freeze and city-owned grocery stores to his viral exchange on Israel. They debate the so-called “Sharia socialist” narrative, why conservatives are losing their minds over his wardrobe, and how his rise exposes deep shifts in American populism. We explore:

Luke 2 is more than a Christmas reading. Pastor Ron Meyer shows how “taxing times” force us into God's positioning. Bethlehem looked illogical. The manger looked like failure. Yet God was fulfilling prophecy, providing a Passover over hell, and sending provision before anyone saw it.

In this episode, we examine new polling on tax policy and the debate over taxing the rich, analyzing how effective tax rates and government spending affect deficit reduction. We discuss a breakthrough in medical innovation that has helped restore sight to patients with macular degeneration, and highlight the growing problem of political crassness in this week's foolishness.

Reality Check, The Spectator's new data-driven show hosted by economics editor Michael Simmons, kicks off with a big name: Arthur Laffer. The man who taught Reagan to cut taxes tells Michael why Britain's economy is 'disappearing', why the Bank of England shouldn't exist, and why he still believes low taxes – and a little optimism – can send Britain 'to the moon and the stars.'

From shoe importers taking out high-interest loans just to stay afloat to everyday Americans paying more for worse products, this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street exposes how protectionism punishes consumers, stifles innovation, and erodes quality. Chris Markowski breaks down why free trade, not tariffs, fuels excellence — and why letting politicians, not markets, decide what we buy always ends in mediocrity.

The Clarey Podcast - The Case for Taxing Corporate Enshifitication by Aaron Clarey

Hour 4 Audio from WGIG-AM and WTKS-AM in Brunswick and Savannah, GA

On Cincinnati Edition's weekly news review, local journalists join us to talk about the big stories from recent days.

The proposal to tax the ultra-rich that could address some of France's budget woes. The last paperboy in Paris, who has been hawking newspapers for nearly 50 years, tells of challenges and successes from Pakistan to Paris. And the man who ended the death penalty in France enters the Panthéon.  As French politicians remain deeply divided over how to address the country's growing deficit, one measure appears to unite public opinion across the political spectrum: the Zucman tax. Devised by 38-year-old economist Gabriel Zucman, the idea is to add a two percent tax on the ultra-rich, who often use holding companies to shield their wealth from income taxes. While the left sees it as fiscal justice, many on the right are concerned about additional taxes in a country that already has a lot, and maintain taxing the wealthiest will drive them abroad. (Listen @2') Ali Akbar left his native Pakistan aged 18, looking to make enough money to buy his mother a decent home. Since arriving in France in 1973, he's managed to do just that – selling newspapers like Le Monde on the streets of Paris's Left Bank district. A popular figure in the neighbourhood, Akbar – the capital's last remaining hawker – was recently selected for the National Order of Merit by President Emmanuel Macron, a former customer. He talks about loving his work, the collapse of the newspaper culture and how recognition by France will help to "heal" the injuries of his past. (Listen @18'30'') France abolished the death penalty on 9 October 1981. Forty-four years later, the justice minister who fought to change the law, Robert Badinter, is entering the Pantheon, the monument dedicated to French heroes. (Listen @11') Episode mixed by Cécile Pompeani Spotlight on France is a podcast from Radio France International.
