Episode Details

Your Heard Tell show for Thursday, June 30th, 2022 is turning down the news cycle noise and getting to the information we need on remembering a true American legend as Woody Williams, the last living Medal of Honor recipient from World War II has passed away. In the Philippines, Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. ascends to power, we'll talk about how a disinformation campaign that downplayed the crimes of the father propelled the son to the top job in that country, we will talk about and the fears for the future. Also, the charges against officials in the Flint, MI, water crisis have all been struck down by a unanimous court decision. Our guest is the retuning Travis Nix of Young Voices, who joins to talk about his recent writing in the Wall Street Journal on the latest version of "tax the rich" schemes, this time through regulation at the Treasury Department by the Obama Administration. Travis also explains why good tax policy is foundational to effective government, how we are a long way away from that, and why so few folks seem to be wanting to talk tax policy despite the importance of the issue. Travis also uses Brazil as an example of how the proposed "double taxing" policy is bad of America, bad for our trading partners and allies, and is really worrisome in the details of how the policy is written. Plus, a story of a charity that tries to help foster kids transition to being adults. All that and more on this Thursday edition of Heard Tell.
