About this episode
The episode discusses a proposal to raise income taxes on high earners in Vermont and the political implications ahead of the midterm elections.
The House Committee on Ways and Means has spent the last three weeks crafting proposals that would raise income taxes on households that earn more than $586,000 a year. Though the legislation has no chance of becoming law this year, some Democrats hope the debate will resonate with voters heading into the midterm elections.
