Wit and wisdom, some smart assery, and a Mother and Daughter questioning “Are we even related?”
WE HATE OUR TAX SYSTEM!!!! And Bobbi and Jane are going to make a point of it!! Join them for seriousness, laughs and ridiculousness.
The tax bill shows up and suddenly your house is “worth” more on paper, your car costs you again just to renew the tags, and you’re left asking the same question we are: what exactly are we paying for? We get into the real-world anger behind property tax assessments, stacked fees, and that special kind of frustration that comes from doing the responsible things and still feeling punished for it.
We also zoom out to the bigger systems that taxes are supposed to support: roads, bridges, inspections, public safety, and government services. We talk about lowest-bid contracts, under-resourced oversight, and why “infrastructure spending” doesn’t always translate into smoother streets or safer bridges. Along the way, we share the kinds of details people actually argue about at kitchen tables, like sales tax, local levies, vehicle registration fees, and why trust disappears when results are hard to see.
Then we take it straight into money and long-term survival: retirement accounts like 401(k), Roth IRA, and IPERS, vesting rules that leave money on the table, and the sting of paying taxes again when you withdraw what you saved. We also question education funding priorities when schools cut libraries and arts while athletic spending keeps expanding. If you’ve ever felt like the tax code is a maze designed to wear you down, you’ll feel seen here. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s tax-stressed, and leave a review with the one tax you’d scrap first.
