This Saturday, April 16, Equal Is Unfair co-author Don Watkins will guest host The Yaron Brook Show. Do the rich pay their “fair share” of taxes?

On April 6, The Blaze published an all-new op-ed by Don Watkins, in which he argues that the ideal of “equality of opportunity” is undesirable, as it would, among other things, mean: “[A]n unprecedented program of wealth redistribution, sapping affluent parents of every honestly earned dollar they’ve made so long as it could be used to give their child a “head start” in life.”
