Trump’s second-term agenda is clear: slash federal spending and lock in tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy. With a GOP-controlled Congress eager to deliver, tax cuts and government defunding have become nonnegotiable priorities, pushing the U.S. government to its breaking point.


Launching April 18th within the Lever Time podcast feed, Tax Revolt traces the rise of the anti-tax movement, from a 1970s tax revolution to Reagan’s sweeping tax cuts to the Republican backlash against George H.W. Bush’s broken “read my lips” promise. Now, as income inequality soars and Trump’s tax cuts collide with mounting deficits, the movement faces a reckoning that could have far-reaching repercussions for the rest of us.
