The Biden Administration is floating a rollback of taxes to their pre-Trump levels, possibly leading to more revenue and investment in things like education, healthcare, and infrastructure. Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss the attacks to come from the Right and get into the history of how Republicans engineered our economy to serve the interests of the wealthy and powerful and forget everybody else. Then, Jared talks to Davis Parsons of the Nostalgia Trap podcast about the new Adam Curtis documentary "Can't Get You Outta My Head," the decline of American culture, and the need for a real reconsideration of history.   To support the podcast, and access exclusive bonus content, become a patron at http://patreon.com/muckrakepodcast  Learn more about your ad choices.
