The second Trump administration has called for the United States to use tariffs instead of income taxes to fund government. Progressive politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez call for a return to the 1950s—at least in terms of sky-high tax rates on the richest Americans. Some members of the conservative movement have called the legacy of Ronald Reagan into question. Should they?
To understand these debates, one needs a clear understanding of how the American tax code has changed in the past century, and in turn, how its changes have shaped the American economy and society. Come hear Alex Muresianu from the Tax Foundation, the leading tax policy think tank in Washington DC, present on these topics and more on Thursday, April 3rd.
Alex Muresianu serves as a Senior Policy Analyst at the Tax Foundation, where he researches and writes about federal tax policy.
