(Two notes about this episode. First, there were technical difficulties with my microphone so I had to resort to using my iPhone for recording my voice. Apologies for the slight decrease in audio quality. Second, this episode was recorded in June, right when ProPublica released an extensive series on leaked IRS reports showing how billionaires avoid paying certain taxes. I make mention of the article and urge you to read it, too!)
