On this week's podcast we look into the idea of a tax on wealth both as a means of increasing tax revenues and combatting the growing income inequality. There has been lots of talk about a tax on individuals' net worth and their unrealized capital gains as opposed to the traditional tax on income earned. We look into whether these proposals are feasible and if so, whether they should even exist in the first place. What do you think? Should the ultra wealthy be subject to taxes on their net worth? Is this fair? Which members of PEAK are for/against this proposal? Tune in to find out!

On this week's pod we discuss a fairly important topic: whether or not CEOs are deserving of their exorbitant pay. We must warn you that this podcast gets very heated as we each take a different stance on the matter. We talk about what CEOs do and how they are compensated. We then discuss why we believe they are/aren't paid too much. Should CEOs dock their own pay and help reduce the wealth disparity between themselves and their employees? Do companies perform better if their CEOs are paid higher? We get into all this and more so tune in! We'd also love to hear your thoughts on the matter. Please let us know whether you agree or disagree with any of our takes and how you feel about this issue.
