The Tax Tea Part Two with Shamubeel Eaqub

We’ve talked tax with Brad Olsen. Now we’re hearing it from a different angle.

This time on Both Sides Now, we’re joined by Simplicity economist Shamubeel Eaqub to ask some pretty basic questions that somehow get very complicated very quickly.

Is our tax system actually fair? Are we taxing the right things? Should we be taxing wealth differently? And is government debt really the ticking time bomb we’re often told it is?

Shamubeel has a different way of looking at the problem — and he’s not afraid to challenge some of the assumptions that sit underneath the political debate.

Because when politicians talk about tax, there’s usually a lot they don’t tell you.
