To Tax or Not To Tax, That Is The Question | Bread & Butter Podcast - Ep 75

In this episode of the Bread & Butter Podcast, Tayo and Eman kick things off with summer nostalgia, from London heatwaves to playing football in Dubai’s 40-degree sun. The conversation soon shifts into Canary Wharf, the City, and the role of wealth in the UK economy. They unpack how billionaires and millionaires use debt and assets to avoid taxation, why wealth tax debates keep resurfacing, and the tension between taxing the rich vs supporting everyday workers. They compare systems in the UK, Switzerland, and the US, explore how inheritance tax is “a voluntary tax,” and debate whether policies aimed at the ultra-wealthy end up hurting ordinary families instead. The hosts stress that financial education is the real bridge, reframing debt, understanding tax efficiency, and encouraging more people into higher-earning brackets. The episode closes with their weekly W’s and L’s, from releasing a financial course to struggling with kids on half-term and an invitation for listeners to play “Chancellor for a Day” and share what tax policies they would implement. 🎧 Tap in now, and don’t forget to Like, Share & Subscribe!
