The Pink Tax
Season 2, Episode 53, Mar 26, 2023, 07:00 AM
This week we're learning about the pink tax. We discuss multiple ways that it affects all genders and racial groups differently. We bring up side by side comparisons of different products and discuss studies done on the pink tax. We end off the episode with the failed and passed state and federal legislation on the topic, and provide some petitions that listeners can sign to let our legislators know how we feel about the pink tax. All petitions can be found below in the sources.
