Why Doesn't It Seem Possible to Tax The Rich Even a Little Bit More?

Well...There's a trick that's been used against the public for over seventy years. It's completely legal, it's very well funded, and it's working on you right now.

It doesn't involve lying. That's the clever part. You never have to say anything false.

I want to show you how this trick works, and you'll spot it everywhere. In every news debate, every panel show, every politician saying "we need to be careful here."

And I want to show you the one time in British history we actually beat it. Which matters, because the same trick is being run again, right now, on the biggest question in the country

I’m Barry Ferns, a comedian whose personal journey through failure, homelessness, and rebuilding led me to explore the socio and behavioural economics of inequality.

This channel digs into how systems of power shape our identity, behaviour, and beliefs, and how we can shift the stories we tell ourselves and each other about poverty, inequality, and who’s to blame.
