In honor of everyone’s least favorite season, tax season, we discuss marginal taxation. STEPHANIE myth busts current tax misconceptions stemming from right-wing propaganda, while TUX provides a historical overview on the fluctuations in the top tier rates over time and how this affects us today.
ALSO MENTIONED: The southern strategy, AOC, Wining About Herstory podcast, Saint Reagan strikes again, coins for Raytheon, stimmies, Miami, the trickles, and Oakland’s UBI experiment.
