Also featured on today’s episode was Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy Executive Director Amy Hanauer. She spoke about tax exemptions during the pandemic and how increasing the taxes on the ultra wealthy will increase resources to spend on things working families need, including things that directly create jobs.
