Описание: The Ignorance Surcharge is the most expensive tax you’ll ever pay.

In this high-stakes episode of the 2nd Look Services podcast, Michael Jesse and Don Zavis perform a Forensic Sweep of the massive 800-page bill shifting the financial landscape for 2026. Whether you are a CEO managing a billion-dollar entity or the "Family CFO" managing your household's balance sheet, the 2nd Look Theology is your competitive advantage.
