Let People Prosper Episode 49: Why People Benefit From Flat Taxes and Responsible State Budgeting with ATR's Patrick Gleason

​Today, I'm honored to be joined by Patrick Gleason, Vice President of State Affairs at Americans for Tax Reform.
​
We discuss:
1) How the state flat tax revolution has swept across the country over the last two years, which states have joined, and why it is a beneficial change for more flourishing;
2) Misconceptions about flat taxes, Kansas as an example of how to make tax relief fail, and the need for responsible state budgets; and
3) Patrick's current work on tax and school choice reform across states.
