Episode notes
Tax Day is here, and Washington wants credit for "relief" that still leaves you poorer. Nate and Chuck break down why no tax on tips, overtime, and Social Security is not what it sounds like. This episode covers tax day, inflation, government spending, Trump tax policy, Republican spending, and why the real tax is what the government spends.
The guys dig into the fine print behind no tax on tips and no tax on overtime, plus why those savings can get wiped out by inflation, borrowing, and war. They also react to the staged DoorDash grandma White House clip, debate whether Republicans deserve to lose the midterms, and explain why mass pardons for administration officials could become a bipartisan disaster.
