Policy for the People. Tax Policies that Help Wealthy Oregonians

Show Notes

Policy for the People examines two different policies on how we tax – or don’t tax – the wealthy. First, the tax break known as Opportunity Zones is explained by Bennet Minton of Tax Fairness Oregon and why only the rich can benefit. Then, Oregon Center for Public Policy’s Daniel Hauser discusses a recent attempt by some Oregon lawmakers to fast-track a repeal of the estate tax – a mechanism Oregon has for taxing extreme wealth.
