084 - Wealth Inequality 2:00:22

Roughly a year ago, the Rampant Discourse crew had a spirited email discussion that was sparked by two articles on the topic of wealth inequality. One of the articles was a ProPublica article about how the wealthy lower their tax bills, and the other was a Bloomberg article about how the 90% are borrowing from the 1%. We decided we had enough differences of opinion that it could make for an interesting podcast. The end result was two hours of content, so whether or not it is interesting, at least it's long. Sorry for sitting on this for so long, but we hope you enjoy it. Continue the discourse on our website , Discord , Twitter , and Facebook .…
