April 16, 2024 It’s Tax Day, America. And by Tax Day, we mean it’s the one day of the year when we do more for the wealth class than we do on any other day of the year. As we pay, they dodge. As we dig deep, they pop champagne. And as we scrimp and save, they buy yachts with tax cuts that used to pay for schools, roads, and a better future for all.…
