Hello and welcome to the political orphanage, a home for pluckyisfits and Problem Solvers. I'm your host, Andrew Hee.

And today, I'm going to make a promise to you. I promise we are going to make taxes interesting. To do it I

will summon from the depths of England a character of such teetering

comedic abilities such staggering financial acumen,

that you and I will have no choice but to be enthralled.

Enfroled!

As we learn about how taxes have shaped world history, the pattern and life cycle that

taxes follow, and at the end of the episode, he's going to tell us about a smarter, fairer way to raise tax revenue a whole new

paradigm I have never previously heard of, but I am sold.

I love new paradigms and I love this one I'm an acolite so buckle up

But first while we're on the subjective money I sure would like it if you send some my way.
