As a spectrum disorder, some diagnosed with high functioning autism can live relatively normal lives pursuing college, careers and relationships. But others require more support. Those with intellectual disabilities and communication challenges often require lifelong support to assist with tasks of daily living.

So when reporter Brett Murphy heard about how police forces and prosecutors were using "911 call analysis” — linguistic quirks to determine that the person calling was in fact guilty of the crime — he looked farther. It was clearly all junk and no science. Still, the FBI was encouraging gullible police departments to pay its inventor $3,500 a session to inculcate cops and advise them w...

Do Billionaires Pay Income Tax? Unpacking that Viral Tax Leak from ProPublica
Earlier this month, ProPublica made waves when it published what it said was verified IRS information showing that billionaires, like Jeff Bezos and Warren Buffett, pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth. ProPublica described the info as “an unprecedented look inside the financial lives of America’s titans.” The article caused quite a stir, both because of how they got the data and the larger discussion regarding wealth and taxes. Recent discussions of taxing the rich or even proposing a wealth tax have sparked plenty of philosophical conversations-- but what would that realistically look like for Am...

We discuss recent reporting by ProPublica that (re)reveals how the wealthy avoid paying their fair share of taxes. We say (re)reveals because this should come as a surprise to no one given a preponderance of similar evidence. All the same, the reporting helps shine an even brighter light.While the wealthiest Americans nominally pay a "high" dollar value in taxes, their true tax rate is fractions of what it is paid by most Americans. Using tax loopholes and tax avoidance strategies essentially only available for the wealthiest, they abscond from paying their fair share of...

ProPublica Report: IRS Tax Data Shows the Ultra-Rich Pay Little to No Taxes Despite Growing Their Wealth
It’s something we always knew was happening, ultra-rich Americans paying little to no taxes even as their wealth increases. ProPublica has obtained IRS data on the top 25 richest Americans and how they maneuver the tax system by claiming very little taxable income, borrowing money, or reporting investment losses all to offset paying taxes. Between 2014 and 2018, these top 25 saw their worth rise a collective $401 billion, but paid a true tax rate of just 3.4%.
