Lucas and Luna sit down with the thick blue volume of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code between them, tracing the threads that connect personal income tax brackets to corporate tax inversions. Each episode examines one specific fiscal lever — the corporate rate, the carried interest loophole, the earned income tax credit — and traces its real-world effects on capital allocation, wage growth, and federal revenue. They avoid partisan shouting matches; instead, they walk through the arithmetic of a tax expenditure, compare it to direct spending, and ask how the burden actually falls. Lucas holds a fountain pen, drawing marginal-rate curves on scrap paper. Luna pushes back with case studies: how Ireland's 12.5% rate reshaped global pharmaceutical supply chains, or how the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act changed buyback behavior. This show is for anyone who reads the Joint Committee on Taxation reports and wants to understand not just what the law says but what it does. No lobbyists, no spin — just two people trying to follow the money through the tax code. What happens when you treat a tax deduction not as a reward but as a subsidy, and what would it cost to replace it with something else?
