Topic on taxes 4/10
I have never wrote a review before let me start with how important that is. This has the be the most thorough explanation of taxes and how they are here within the USA. It is a shame that our taxes have been turned to a tool of greed by outsourcing it to private companies. Our taxes do not need to be complicated. But I will say there should be a required class in school even in highschool since more and more kids are doing social media and need to report that income, and just “normal” jobs. I look forward to the time when my children have the tools necessary for them when they become of age. If not I will provide everything that I have been taught so they don’t waste money on completing their taxes. Thank you again for everything you do for the people here in CLT and surround areas.
I love this podcast, but please turn up the volume
I listen to this podcast a few times a week and love the content. Even on topics I’m less interested in, I am always pleasantly surprised. Mike Collins is great! My only issue is on Apple Podcasts the volume is so low, I have to turn the volume to almost twice other podcasts. I don’t want to be dramatic, but I sometimes skip the episode just because the volume is so low and I don’t want my eardrums blown out from either the ads or when the next podcast episode plays.
More GAIN on Mike’s Mic!!!
Please… my volume knob can only go so high! Mike sounds like he is 10ft from the microphone (podcast version).
Weekly Roundup is the best part. Too much other NPR-type content Mon-Thur.
