Certainly our tax system has been a primary driver of wealth inequality. But until recently, it has been taboo to suggest that we should raise taxes on the wealthy. But times have changed. Listed below are several YouTube videos which try to make the case for a more progressive tax code.
For next week's meeting, we will try something different. Instead of showing a single video followed by discussion, we will have a series of short video/discussion mini-sessions. We will do as many as we can fit in our 90 minute meeting. So here is your chance to lead a mini-session on one of the videos listed below or another video you may have found. You can put your dibs on a video by email or by adding a comment to this blog.
- Tax the Rich: An Animated Fairy Tale
- Elizabeth Warren: You Didn't Build That
- Nick Hanauer: Banned TED Talk on Inequity
- David Cay Johnston: Moral Argument for Progressive Tax
- Warren Buffet: Taxes are Too Low for the Wealthy
- Robert Reich: Tax the Rich
