SUMMARY:A Purple Agenda For The Next Four Years
DESCRIPTION:Americans are distinctly unenthusiastic about their options for president this year. Who the candidates are is one problem. What they stand for is another. What are the key issues concerning voters\, and what policies best address them? The economist Laurence “Larry” Kotlikoff is here to help us figure this out. He has a purple agenda that blends some red\, some blue\, and some ideas that almost nobody else talks about. He has unique ideas for solving contentious issues that would replace the personal income tax\, the banks\, and Social Security as we know them today. Kotlikoff is an innovative thinker\, and his ideas are worth our reflection. \n\n\nTo RSVP for the Zoom Webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_vFBmIgZVR1WUV28Q2dvt6g \nTo watch the event on Facebook Live: https://www.facebook.com/NFRPP/live_videos/ \nThis event is from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm EST on Thursday\, June 20\, 2024 \n\nSpeakers: \nLaurence Kotlikoff is a professor of economics at Boston University with a doctorate from Harvard.
