Today, we’re going to explore:

• Why taxes didn’t exist at first,
• How and why they started creeping in,
• How taxes helped create Big Government,
• And how the people in power, the politicians, used it to get very rich.

Today’s topic is one that’s way bigger than most people think…

It’s about economics, but not the way you probably learned it in school.

We’re gonna break down what economics really is…

Why it’s not just about money or Wall Street…

And how understanding it can actually give you a better handle on life, decision making, even relationships.
