Death, Taxes and Donald Trump
A conversation with investigative journalist David Cay Johnston on death, taxes and Donald Trump. “Nothing is certain but death and taxes” wrote Benjamin Franklin. Another certainty is that Donald Trump is afraid to let the people he governs see his taxes. Johnston explains the history of taxes and how from the beginning of civilization it has been used to organize economics and politics. Then we talk about what Donald Trump’s taxes tell us about the man. Johnston knows some stuff: he has been reporting on Trump’s taxes and business affairs for 30 years.
