Fair Share Pod w/ Sree and Stephen

Income inequality is at the root of massive social unrest, with few meaningful reforms getting traction. Why is that? Land and Sreenivasan explain, with good storytelling and no sugarcoating the solutions. This and Search Engine’s outstanding two-part podcast in 2024 on understanding the Federal Tax code (the root of the problems) should be required listening for all interested in reform

Excellent and extremely important podcast.

A timely podcast on our tax system. Stephen and Sree roll back the curtain on our 1500 page US tax code and all of the inequities inherent in our tax system. No easy answers here but the first thing out Nation needs to come to grips with is to understand what our tax system does to our national fabric. As a former State Tax Commissioner, I can say that getting the public to understand what our tax policy does and does not do is one of the most important civic lessons we can learn. Stephen and Sree really advance that ball here! Easy to listen to as well! Well done!

This show goes far beyond taxes. It is an impartial, non-partisan look at what we can do as Americans (across the financial spectrum) to heal this country. This is an engaging, easy-to-understand, look at the American tax system but more importantly it is an examination of who we are versus who we think we are as a nation. Sree and Steve offer anecdotes and real-life examples of who the wealthy are and where the wealthy are (Nantucket apparently). This is not a tedious master class on taxes but a blueprint for building the bridge over the chasm of the financial disparity that fuels American resentment and division, told in a manner that is easily consumed and retained. If you are in despair over the future of our country, let this podcast give you hope.
