The Commonwealth Matters

Politicians are now talking about taxes since it's an election year. Those on the right generally want to lower taxes, and those on the left want to raise them. And we as citizens usually think we pay too much. Joining us this week to talk about taxes is Dr. Brian Domitrovic, a scholar at the Laffer Center for Supply-Side Economics and a co-author of the recent book Taxes Have Consequences: An Income Tax History of the United States.
