Impact of Taxes on the Middle Class

The podcast delves into the historical perspective of taxes, revealing how the initial concept of taxing only the rich eventually led to a burden on the middle class. The idea of taxes was popularized by portraying it as a means to punish the wealthy, but in reality, it ended up affecting the poor and middle class the most. As the government's need for money expanded, taxes trickled down from the rich to the middle class. The podcast explores how the robin hood theory of economics, taking from the rich to give to others, unintentionally harmed those it was meant to help.
