100 citizens try where politicians fear to fix taxes
Original: Politicians are afraid to fix taxes. So 100 citizens tried. : Planet Money
NPR's Planet Money reports on an experiment in which 100 ordinary citizens took on the tax reform work that politicians have avoided, wary of the political costs of touching the tax code. The story examines how the citizen panel approached trade-offs and what their proposals might mean for real reform.
Why now: Tax reform is a perennial political flashpoint, and the idea of citizens doing what lawmakers won't is drawing attention.
