Taxes Aren’t the Enemy. Underfunded Communities Are.
Tuesday, 13 October, 2026
Omari Richins, MPH of Public Health Careers podcast discusses the intersection of taxes, public budgets, and public health, particularly in the context of North Carolina’s two tax-related constitutional amendments on the November 2026 ballot. He emphasizes the importance of understanding what taxes actually fund, why capping the income tax rate or limiting local property tax revenue could affect schools, emergency services, and rural communities, and how budget decisions shape the social determinants of health. Omari advocates for shifting the conversation from whether taxes are “good” or “bad” to whether we are collecting revenue fairly and investing it in communities, urging listeners to pay attention to state and local policy, vote informed, and engage in meaningful conversations about how public funding shapes health equity.NC Tax Amendments on the November BallotNC Tax Amendments By the NumbersFunding local services in North Carolina2026 NC Constitutional Amendments--Podcast Interest FormCareer Lab Interest Form🎯 Our New Career Services Storefront💡 1-on-1 mentorship & services🧠 Join our public health community👕 Check out our apparel🔗 Connect on LinkedIn💬 Suggest a TopicChapters:@0:00 Introduction and overview of public health funding@2:07 The misconception that taxes are theft@4:04 What taxes pay for and why they matter@7:04 Details of North Carolina's tax amendments and their implications@9:59 The impact of property tax limits on local communities@12:52 Public health as a result of public policy and budgets@14:51 Call to action: understanding and advocating for fair taxationSupport the showThanks for tuning in.
