Andrea Louise Campbell, a Professor at MIT and the author of "Taxation and Resentment," delves into the paradox of American tax attitudes. She discusses why many Americans support progressive taxes in theory but favor regressive policies in practice. Racial dynamics significantly influence these views, especially among white voters.
