I'm willing to bet there are a good many people who don't fully understand "taxes." So, I talked with Nathan Cummins, a CPA who has also served as President of the Clinton Chamber of Commerce and who has formal training in taxes. I, for one, could always learn more about how the money business of government works, so I asked him to talk about taxes in the Michael Scott format: "Explain it to me like I'm 5."

As always, thanks to Ty Garvey, Drew Mellon and the rest of Don Quixote's Horse for allowing their music to set the local tone for these podcasts.
