Talking About Taxes: Kim Klein
Tax-exempt organizations may question the
relevance of tax policy. Yet, it is tax policy –
how
taxes are levied, what is taxed, who pays, and who
is exempt – that determines how much money the
government has to spend. And government
spending (or lack of) determines much about the
quality of our public life.
Kim believes talking about taxes and tax policy can
be interesting, and she wants to prove it.
