This is a HeadGum podcast.

Hello everyone, welcome to Factuals.

I'm Adam Connover.

Thank you once again for joining us on the show.

You know, I would record this show even if I weren't doing it for a podcast because

on this show I get to talk to some of the most fascinating experts from around the world.

I get to learn all the incredible things that they know that I don't know.

I get to broaden my own horizons and as a bonus, I get to have all you listen to and make

a little money because we record some ads.

I mean, this show is so wonderful to do and I can't thank you enough for supporting

it.

And just remind you, if you want to support it even more, you can buy books at our custom

bookshop at factuallypod.com slash books.

And when you do, you'll be supporting not just this show, but your local bookstore.

Or you could sign up for a stitch or premium account that supports us as well.

And we got some brand new ways to support the show that we're working on that maybe

we'll be able to announce very shortly.

But let's jump into this show.

You know, if I told you, the rich people don't pay their fair share of taxes in America and

be willing to bet you would not fall out of your chair.

I think we all sort of take it for granted.

The rich people are able to get out of paying the same amount that we do.
