Tax Me! (If You Can!): 1x1

From the rise of trickle-down economics under Ronald Reagan to the global mechanisms that allow vast fortunes to escape taxation, the documentary explores how the tax system came to favor the ultra-rich – and how this transformation was presented as beneficial to society as a whole.
