WHAT: Taxes and the Public Trust

WHEN: Wednesday, March 17, 2010

WHERE: Charlie Palmer Steak, 101 Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20001

DETAILS: With opinion polls showing deep distrust of Congress and populist anti-government fervor rising, regaining public confidence in government has become a top-tier concern. Third Way hosted Rt. Hon. Alan Milburn MP, and Reps. Ron Kind, Melissa Bean, and Mike McMahon for a discussion exploring the potential of tax policy as an instrument for restoring public trust in government. They were joined by Dr. William A. Galston of the Brookings Institution and Dr. Elaine C. Kamarck of Harvard University, authors of the Third Way report, Change You Can Believe in Needs a Government You Can Trust.
