Connections: Innovation Friday - Taxes

Taxes. We hate paying them, but we’ll spend an hour talking about taxes! As we head towards the end of the federal fiscal year we’ll talk with Sheila Weinberg from the non-partisan Truth in Accounting about how every U.S. State including this one, is hiding pension and health care benefit debt from their financial reporting to the tune of more than $950 Billion. That all turns into taxpayer burden. Ever heard of the sinkhole states?

And then we’ll ask whether it’s possible to have FAIR taxation with Jill Gonzalez from Wallethub. Is it fuzzy math, or are we really able to work towards a fairer system of taxation.
