In The Tank

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo present episode 433 of the In The Tank Podcast. A new analysis by the Committee to Unleash Prosperity compares the worldview's of those representing the upper 1% of the population (in terms of income and education) with those of the average United States citizen. Turns out, there is a large divide. One side is doing financially better in the past few years, thinks there is too much freedom in America, and believes in banning SUVs and gas stoves to save the planet. Care to guess which side I'm talking about? Hint: It won't surprise you.

What is In The Tank?

The weekly flagship podcast from The Heartland Institute features in-depth policy discussions connected to current news. Host Donald Kendal leads the discussion with the usual crew of Heartland Institute Vice President Jim Lakely, Socialism Research Center “Commissar” Justin Haskins, Editorial Director Chris Talgo, and others at this national free-market think tank. The entertaining and informative discussions often hit topics such as the environment, energy policy, Big Tech censorship, the troubling rise of socialism, globalism, health care, education, that state of freedom in America and around the world, and much more.

This podcast is also available as part of the Heartland Daily Podcast, the “firehose” of all the organization’s podcasts that take deep and entertaining dives into public policy.
