Ever feel like the tax code is a maze designed to keep you confused? In this episode, we break down the "Build a Longer Table" tax plan: a fresh take on making taxes fairer for everyone. We'll explore how this plan aims to lighten the load for those struggling to make ends meet, while asking the wealthiest to contribute a bit more. Inspired by the idea that when you have more than you need, you should build a longer table, not a higher fence, we'll discuss how this approach could help bridge the income gap and create a more equitable society. Tune in for a candid, insightful conversation that just might change the way you think about taxes.
