Tax Day: Exposing the Lies of the Rich

<p>On today's episode Walter Smolarek and Prof. Richard &nbsp;Wolff discuss the extreme injustices of the U.S. tax system.&nbsp;Monday was &nbsp;Tax Day — no cause for celebration for millions of ordinary people. But &nbsp;for the ultra rich, it wasn’t so bad. &nbsp;Many of the wealthiest people on the planet actually pay a tax rate &nbsp;that is lower than a typical worker — how do they get away with this &nbsp;scam?</p> <p>Professor Richard Wolff is an author &amp; co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work.
