Tax the Patriarchy With Abby Disney and Amy Matsui
Your favorite billionaire might pay less in taxes than you do. And that’s by design! The U.S. tax code has sexism and racism baked right into it. But if we taxed the patriarchy, we’d have enough money for the things that really matter—from child care and health care to education and housing. We talked to activist, philanthropist, and filmmaker Abby Disney and NWLC tax genius Amy Matsui about why it’s past time for Taylor, Jay-Z, Elon, and Jeff to pay their fair share.
Hearsay · Abby Disney, Amy Matsui, Hilary Woodward, Jessica Baskerville, Lark Lewis
