Jason Lewis Filiing in On The Brett Winterble Show

Tune in here to this Wednesday’s edition of the Brett Winterble Show with Jason Lewis filling in!

Jason kicks off the program by welcoming former Tax Foundation president and current Arnold Ventures tax policy fellow, Scott Hodge, to shed light on a little-known but massive issue in the American economy: untaxed nonprofit enterprises. Jason highlights how some nonprofits, including hospitals and universities, operate like large corporations—raking in billions in revenue while avoiding federal income taxes. With energy and conviction, he echoes Hodge’s findings that the nonprofit sector now represents a staggering $3.3 trillion—about 15% of the U.S. GDP—yet largely escapes taxation. The conversation focuses on how these organizations, often paying executives seven-figure salaries, compete with small businesses that do pay taxes. Jason argues that it’s time to differentiate between genuine charities and commercial giants masquerading as nonprofits. He praises the study’s fairness in preserving support for true charitable work, while calling for reform that would generate revenue without burdening working Americans.
