S2 Ep 47S2 Ep47: Weekly Skews 4/12/22 – Somebody’s Gotta Pay (Not the Rich Tho)

It’s no secret that our country’s richest people LOVE not paying taxes. Like even more than sailing and watching racehorses have sex and stuff. But fret not, the IRS is addressing the issue…by auditing poor people at a rate five times exceeding that of the rich. So that’s good. Support the show
