Jonah Goldberg: ProPublica’s ‘Secret IRS Files,' Wealth Taxes, & the Billionaire Tax Evasion 'Scandal' That Wasn’t

<p>Editor-in-chief of The Dispatch and host of the Remnant Podcast Jonah Goldberg joins the show to break down the massive ProPublica expose supposedly revealing an American epidemic of billionaires evading taxes. He explains why basically nothing they “expose” is actually particularly newsworthy or surprising, and how it’s all part of the progressive push for a so-called “wealth tax.” We break down the practical and theoretical flaws with taxing wealth and the ideological roots of this soak-the-rich class envy.</p> <p>Plus, we wade into how the increasing GOP embrace of nationalist-populist economics weakens our defense from progressive socialism and why Jonah co-founded The Dispatch to offer something new in right-of-center media.</p> <p>Read Jonah’s Column on the ProPublica ‘Scandal’: <a href="https://triblive.com/opinion/jonah-goldberg-outrage-over-billionaires-tax-returns-ignores-basic-facts/">https://triblive.com/opinion/jonah-goldberg-outrage-over-billionaires-tax-returns-ignores-basic-facts/</a></p> <p>Subscribe to The Dispatch: <a href="https://thedispatch.com/subscribe">https://thedispatch.com/subscribe</a></p> <p>Follow Jonah on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/JonahDispatch">https://twitter.com/JonahDispatch</a></p> <p>Subscribe to the Remnant Podcast: <a href="https://remnant.thedispatch.com/">https://remnant.thedispatch.com/</a></p> <p>Follow Brad on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/brad_polumbo">https://twitter.com/brad_polumbo</a></p> <p>Follow Brad on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bradpolumbo/">https://www.instagram.com/bradpolumbo/</a></p> <p>MUSIC CREDIT: bensound.com</p>
