Every Major Type of Tax Explained
Added 2021-08-26 13:14:04 +0000 UTCThis video feels like a culmination of all my years teaching Economics students about taxes. It feels good to get this all into one, less than 20-minute video. Oh, and I seriously did owe the IRS money. That wasn't acting.
Just a heads up. Next week is the next episode of Supreme Court Briefs, but the week after that is a big video I have planned about 9/11. I am nervous (and honestly a bit emotional) about it, so your feedback will be extremely valuable.
Thank you for your continued support!

(in zambia birth is free, and a bareal plot is free.) i useally end my lecture with "then the Government taxes it!" they allwys give me a shocked look.

2021-08-27 00:46:01 +0000 UTCSales and property taxes here in Illinois makes me want to cry. I know people paying 10k + a year. Its not even in Chicago. 😰

2021-08-27 00:23:46 +0000 UTCI say that, then realise 0:24 exists so they’d probably back off

2021-08-26 17:05:28 +0000 UTCWell thank you. And yes, I love both of those shows. :) Oh, and sad to say, I was the one who introduced the Economics class at my high school. That's right, for decades, there was literally no economics class available there.
Mr. Beat
2021-08-26 16:05:14 +0000 UTCFormer Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes jr. once said “taxes are what we pay for civilized society.” Well done on this video and your coverage of all sorts of taxes! I wish economics classes were mandated from middle school onwards. We can argue about tax policy and rates, but I think it would be great if the public was more educated on how their tax dollars are spent. Also, loved the Seinfeld and Parks and Recreation clips you integrated into the videos!

2021-08-26 15:02:52 +0000 UTCEhh, frustrating. And I was supposed to get a refund this year. I may suck it up, but if I find out how to get a hold of them, I'll be ready to wait over an hour on a freakin phone call.

2021-08-26 14:45:20 +0000 UTCThey are notoriously very difficult to get in touch with. I just sucked it up and paid it. It can be very frustrating.
Mr. Beat
2021-08-26 14:31:39 +0000 UTCI know right? 😆 Thanks for the kind words
Mr. Beat
2021-08-26 14:31:02 +0000 UTCI owe the IRS money as well. But it would be nice to know how I can contact them to know why I owe them money.

2021-08-26 14:30:45 +0000 UTCI'm looking forward to these videos Matt! Thanks for putting them together--education along with entertainment! "Edutainment" . "Best Type of Tax" is a curious title! LOL--didn't know there was a "best" any kind of tax! :-)
