Get to know the voice behind the analysis
Thirty years inside federal revenue. A master's in political science. One man's argument for how money and power actually work.
Tax superintendent, political analyst, long-form writer — where is the connection?
Three decades inside federal revenue taught me how policy actually lands on people. A Master's in Political Science gave me the language to explain it. This site is where those two worlds meet.
What readers say about his analysis

Most financial blogs feel like they are selling something. This one does not. It just lays out the argument and trusts the reader to think.
