Any Revisionist History Fans? (Gladwell's Podcast)

[reinko]

Season two just started, one of my favorite podcasts.  He talks through issues/problems from a historical and economic POV.

Season 2 kicks off with an interesting topic of the heavily tax-subsidized private golf courses in Southern CA.  Through old tax laws, they are taxed at a rate of about 1% of their current value, again these are private CC's like Brentwood, LA CC...Courses that should be paying $80-$90 million a year in property taxes (based off their land value in Beverly Hills...), but instead pay closer to $200K.

When rich guys make all the rules, there is no expectation that they will be fair.

That's one reason why following rules is not now nor has ever been a priority of mine.
