In case you didn't catch this last week, Robin Young of NPR's "Here & Now" interviewed Mike Lapham, Director of UFE's Responsible Wealth project.

 

Mike and Robin discussed the [possibly] soon-to-expire Bush tax cuts, the estate tax and The Giving Pledge, an unprecedented philanthropic initiative launched by some of the wealthiest families and individuals in the US, including several friends and partners of UFE and RW.
