Episode 96 – The Flat Tax (original) (raw)

In this episode of PoliTalk, Jeff and Glenn wade deep into tax policy by exploring the Flat Tax with their special guest Alvin Rabushka who is the Hoover Institution’s David and Joan Traitel Senior Fellow (emeritus). Dr. Rabushka received his A.B. in Far Eastern studies from Washington University (St. Louis) in 1962, followed by his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in political science from Washington University in 1966 and 1968. In 2007, he was honored as a distinguished alumnus of the School of Arts and Sciences at Washington University. After Dr. Rabushka explains the Flat Tax in an informative (and entertaining) way, Glenn and Jeff discuss the political realities of getting this kind of policy passed.
