#38. The U.S. tax system is screwing you over. Here's what you can do about it.
In this episode, Trishul and Aaron discuss more ways the U.S. tax system helps the wealthy. Qualified Small Business Stock, self-directed IRAs, and Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts are all legal means by which rich people can side-step millions or potentially billions in taxes. But these are not just random loopholes. Now, corporations can legally spend unlimited sums of money lobbying politicians to write laws that favor, you guessed it, the wealthy. That's why it makes fiscal sense for a corporation to spend a billion dollars lobbying to save ten billion in taxes. In the end, if we think income inequality is a big deal, the first step to change is to understand how easy it is for the wealthy to avoid paying their fair share.
