In the latest “Economics 101” video released today by the Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation (CF&P), Hiwa Alaghebandian of the College of William and Mary explains that the high cost of complying with the internal revenue code is a hidden tax that makes a bad system even more oppressive.

This video shows that the corrupt mess we call a tax code is the result of 97 years of social engineering and industrial policy that began almost immediately after that dark day in 1913 that the income tax was created.
