From the preview

This is Module Nine: Taxes. I know it is not the most exciting word, but understanding taxes is one of the most practical things you can do for your finances. Let's make this clear and calm. Taxes are money you pay to the government, federal, state, and local. That money funds public services, schools, roads, parks, healthcare, and emergency services. Taxes are how communities function. A small part of what you earn goes back to the community. That is the basic idea.
