## Resource

Joe Pags sounds off on calls for a billionaire tax, calling it ridiculous and warning it’s another step toward socialism. He explains why nearly everyone has worked for or benefited from companies built by billionaires at some point — and why punishing success won’t help the economy. Then, former White House chief economist Vance Ginn joins to break down Operation Economic Fury, the Strait of Hormuz, rising oil prices, and the broader economic impact of the Iran conflict.
