Donald Trump's Taxes with David Cay Johnston and Renato Mariotti
In this episode, Jill and Victor talk with David Cay Johnston and Renato Mariotti, who will help us understand Trump’s tax returns as reported by the New York Times. We’ll also talk to them about how the tax system benefits the rich, the possible political and legal implications -- both criminal and civil -- of Trump’s tax returns, and hopefully help you understand why Trump’s taxes should matter to you, the ultimate arbiter in this election.
