Tax Policy & Economic Growth with Ryan Ellis | Let People Prosper Show Ep. 139

​How can federal and state tax reform influence your budget and business? 

In this episode of the Let People Prosper Show, I interview Ryan Ellis, a tax policy expert and founder of the Center for a Free Economy. Ryan shares his insights on the complexities of tax reform, the impact of tariffs on economic growth, and why the real problem isn’t under-taxation but overspending. From the challenges of freelance taxes to corporate tax rates and the importance of deregulation, this conversation dives deep into what policymakers need to get right about fiscal policy. Whether you’re a business owner, policymaker, or just someone wanting a clearer picture of tax policy, this episode is for you!
