Our lead story: According to a report by the Center for Effective Government, thirty of America’s largest corporations paid their CEOs more than they paid in federal income taxes last year. While corporations are quick to point out that the US tax rate is the highest of industrialized nations in the world at 35%, they neglect to mention that between 2008 and 2012 that the average large corporation in US paid almost half that rate at 19.9%. Erin weighs in. Then, Erin sits down with Frances Coppola – associate editor at Pieria and blogger at Coppola Comment – to discuss Europe and the UK. Frances tells us where she thinks Europe is headed and gives us her take on the London housing market. After the break, Erin talks to Arnold Kling – blogger at AskBlog and adjunct scholar at The Cato Institute. Arnold explains the meaning of basic income and gives us his take on whether it’s better than our current unemployment safety net. And in The Big Deal, Erin and Edward Harrison discuss privacy and the movement toward end-to end encryption in the Internet. Take a look!
