episode 219: How To Create a Fairer Economy Free From Structural Racism: A Conversation with Alejandra Montoya-Boyer of Prosperity Now

Alejandra Montoya-Boyer, the Director of Policy at Prosperity Now, talks about how we can create long-term economic equity through legislative policy like an expansion of the Child Tax Credit, and a broader investment in Baby Bonds. We also talk about the impact of IRS tax policy, which currently targets much of its enforcement power to the lowest-income families, as auditing the poor is relatively easy and inexpensive compared to auditing the rich; tweaking the tax code so that the distribution of enforcement power isn't aligned in favor of the wealthiest Americans would greatly reduce the wealth gap.
