Ever wonder how billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Michael Bloomberg got away with paying no federal income taxes for a few years and you didn’t? ProPublica senior editor and reporter Jesse Eisinger discusses the popular article he co-authored in June 2021, “The Secret IRS Files: Trove of Never-Before-Seen Records Reveal How the Wealthiest Avoid Income Tax” and how the current tax system is rigged for the ultra-wealthy.
We also discuss Julian Assange, the Build Back Better Act, the Upper Big Branch Mine Disaster, Donald Trump’s tax returns, and how federal COVID-19 relief money was spent.
In 2011, Eisinger won a Pulitzer Prize award for National Reporting for his and Jake Bernstein’s reporting on questionable Wall Street practices that contributed to the 2008 United States financial crisis. In 2017, Eisinger released his book “The Chicken Sh*t Club” about how the U.S. Justice Department went light on corporate criminals after Enron.
