End Federal Withholding to Clarify What Government Takes

Join Adam Michel, Director of tax policy studies at the Cato Institute, as he uncovers the hidden costs of federal tax withholding. He argues that this policy obscures the true burden of taxation, making it harder for taxpayers to grasp their financial obligations. The discussion ventures into alternative tax structures like a negative income tax and a simplified flat tax, aiming to empower citizens with clearer fiscal responsibilities. Michel also contemplates how ending withholding could prompt demands for a leaner government and greater accountability.
