How Do We Fix America's Tax Problem? — with Senator Cory Booker

Senator Cory Booker proposes making the first $75,000 of income tax-free — and Galloway pushes back on feasibility while supporting the direction. Covers tax cuts vs. deficits, entitlement spending, the Democratic Party's economic messaging failures, and rising inequality. A policy-focused episode that makes tax policy surprisingly engaging.
