Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How the rich escaped taxation
Q: How would you tax this stuff?
I believe we should tax gains when property is given away or passes on at death, providing a cleaner system that ensures tax-free growth doesn't continue indefinitely.
Higher ed is in trouble. But not for the reason you think.
Q: What are some specific barriers to changing academia?
Cultural structures and a resistance to change, particularly due to the vested interests in existing faculty systems.
Higher ed is in trouble. But not for the reason you think.
Q: How do you reconcile the hard-to-get-into colleges with the reality of many institutions?
Many colleges are accessible, and the focus on a small group of prestigious institutions overshadows the majority of U.S. colleges that are open to all.
Higher ed is in trouble. But not for the reason you think.
Q: What is the serious problem you see facing academia?
The problem goes way beyond the richest schools and concerns the overall stagnation of teaching methods and effectiveness in educating students.
Is healthcare eating the economy?
Q: Is the idea sort of let private companies compete for us, excluding all these people who get government run health care?
There's no coherent vision from Republicans for healthcare, just talking points, with no effective implementation plan.
