Taxing Success Won’t Fix Broken Budgets with Jack Salmon | LPP 198

Politicians often promise to tax “the rich” to fund bigger government. But what happens when high earners leave?In Episode 198 of the Let People Prosper Show, Jack Salmon of the Mercatus Center joins me to explain how taxes influence migration, investment, entrepreneurship, and state competitiveness.We discuss why high-income taxpayers are more mobile than politicians assume, why wealth taxes often underperform, and why states like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee continue attracting people and capital while high-tax states struggle.The takeaway: sustainable prosperity comes from spending restraint, growth, and economic freedom—not punishing success.🎧 Listen now and subscribe for more conversations on policies that let people prosper.
