Welcome to another episode of The Chicks on the Right podcast where we welcome our friend and sponsor of the show, Zach Abraham from Bullwork Capital Management to talk to us about the economy and money.

And I guess somebody recently, according to Yahoo Finance, somebody did a chat GPT exercise where they asked what would happen if regular Joe Schmo families across the country

could write off life expenses in much the same way that corporations get to write off like

everything. And so, of course, the answer was, well, middle class families would save a ton of money,

but the government would take in less revenue.

So was this a pointless exercise?

Or do you think the tax code could and should be adjusted to make wealth, like the wealth gap,

shrink a little bit.

And do you think taxation is theft?

Do you think it's theft to discuss?

Yes, Zach.

So I guess the better way to put it would be, do I feel like it's theft versus do I think it's theft?

Because those are two.

So look, I think one of the tough, one of the best ways to frame a discussion about taxes.

And first of all, it requires nuance because regardless of what plan we come up with, somebody's got to send a check to the government.

And so it's like saying it was the best root canal I ever had.

Right.

It's making the least painful, right?

Like that's a good one.

And so taxes are like that too.
