8/19/22 Sheldon Richman on America’s Totalitarian Tax System

Scott interviews the Libertarian Institute executive editor Sheldon Richman about a column he put out last Friday. In it, he discusses the massive boost Biden’s spending bill gives the IRS. Richman explains why strengthening tax enforcement will disproportionally hurt non-wealthy Americans. That leads to a broader discussion of how totalitarian the tax system in the United States has become and how much worse it’s slated to get thanks to this expansion. 

Discussed on the show:

• “TGIF: The Coming New and Improved IRS” (The Libertarian Institute)
• “Lottery!” (IMDb)
• Your Money or Your Life: Why We Must Abolish the Income Tax by Sheldon Richman

Sheldon Richman is the executive editor of the Libertarian Institute and the author of Coming to Palestine and America’s Counter-Revolution: The Constitution Revisited. Follow him on Twitter @SheldonRichman.
