America’s tax system lets the ultra-wealthy pay pennies on wealth gains while ordinary workers are taxed on every paycheck. Drawing on law, economics, political science, and investigative reporting, we unpack the legal architecture—Buy, Borrow, Die, stepped-up basis, offshore havens—and the lobbying and regulatory capture that preserves it. This episode traces how trillions escape public coffers, the fiscal costs to services and infrastructure, and practical, politically feasible reforms that could close the gaps. Expect concrete examples, expert interviews, and clear steps listeners can take to push for change.
