Tax Policy for The People

The People’s Tax Page is a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Our goal is to create and curate video, audio, and written works that teach advanced tax policy in a manner that anyone can understand. Tax policy affects people directly, so we aim to make it directly accessible for people. We believe that tax does not need to be reserved to politicians and economists, but should be vested directly in the people.

We Love Teaching

We want to produce content that is not only informative, but also engaging and entertaining. We have more videos, podcasts, and lesson plans in the pipeline that will simplify complex policy issues as they arise in current events.

If you have any questions about our organization, we encourage you to contact us here.
