In this live community-driven session, Drew and Mason take the reins as they dive headfirst into one of the hottest topics out there: income tax, wealth distribution, and the question that never fails to heat up the comments section—are the rich really paying their fair share?

Pulling insights from Tom’s recent deep dive, the hosts break down the complexities of “trickle down” economics, dissect why income and wealth are taxed differently, and debate whether things like a flat tax could solve more problems than it creates. We hear sharp arguments from the community, honest takes on how globalization and corporate decisions affect the middle class, and practical advice for anyone trying to break out of financial struggle.

But Impact Theory wouldn’t be complete without a look at the personal side. Drew addresses wage stagnation, corporate profits, the realities of investing for everyday people (even if it’s just $10 a month), and what it really takes to move up when you’re stuck working multiple jobs and barely making ends meet. Plus, there’s a candid exploration of dating and gender dynamics in today’s world—what’s broken, what’s changed, and what it actually takes to thrive.
