  • Trump was wrong – again (Hour 2)

    The Trump campaign likes to tell people that Biden invented inflation and that his tax cuts helped the economy. The reality is that profiteering by the millionaire class has exacerbated the economic problem. Maggie has Lindsay Owens, ED of the Groundwork Collective and Patriotic Millionaire Scott Ellis on to explain.

      • It’s no debate – she won (Hour 1)

        Well, the debate happened last night. And wow. Trump looked like more of a fool and was baited into being so. Harris handled her business and "ran a clinic on how to school a mediocre white man." Milwaukee County Chairwoman Marcelia Nicholson weighs in on what this means.

      • US Tax Policy is racist and this is why (Hour 2)

        Dorothy Brown, author of "The Whiteness of Wealth: How The Tax System Impoverishes Black Americans- And How We Can Fix It",   became a tax lawyer specifically because she wanted to enter a racism-neutral field. In her studies, she found the data pointed toward inherent disparities. For starters, the IRS does not have any data based on race, which is a huge red flag.

      • Millionaires have rigged the economy – let them tell you (Hour 2)

        Morris Pearl and Erica Payne from the Patriotic Millionaires show us exactly how the rich have rigged the economy. They explain what capital gains taxes are and what it means that passive income is taxed less than a regular person's income is. Maggie also points out the harm the Trump tax cuts have done.

        Speaking of out of touch - Donald Trump and JD Vance have said absolutely nothing solid with regards to child care. In fact, when you hear the actual sound, in context, it sounds dumber.

      • Yes, the Economy is rigged against us.

        Erica Payne and Morris Pearl from the Patriotic Millionaires explain Kamala Harris's proposals to raise capital gains taxes. It's a matter of making income millionaires make like taxing salary or hourly work.
