Taxing Attitudes
Americans don\u2019t like to be taxed, we\u2019re told \u2014 after all, who would willingly part with their hard earned money? But according to Vanessa Williamson that assumption is largely incorrect. She has studied attitudes toward paying taxes \u2013 and argues that our misperceptions have deleterious consequences, including discounting the contributions of low income people. She also discusses the Republican tax bill \u2014 one of the least popular pieces of legislation in recent history.\nResources:\nVanessa Williamson, Read My Lips: Why Americans Are Proud to Pay Taxes Princeton University Press, 2017\nThe post Taxing Attitudes appeared first on KPFA.
