Hillary Clinton Pakistan Remarks, Sneak Taxes Admission
During a visit to Lahore, Pakistan, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reportedly told business leaders that the U.S. "taxes everything that moves and doesn't move." The hosts interpret this as a rare admission of the heavy tax burden placed on American citizens. They discuss the prevalence of "sneak taxes" in the U.S., such as hotel and travel fees, which they claim result in an effective 70% tax rate.
