If you tuned in during the first night of the Democratic debates to hear what the candidates had to offer on tax policy, you were likely disappointed. With ten candidates vying for time and answers limited to 60 seconds, the debate was more like a series of mini-speeches on a variety of topics from immigration to abortion. And when it was time to talk tax, answers were mostly short on details.

The candidates who were onstage during the first round of debates were Sen. Cory Booker (D-NY), New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, Julián Castro, John Delaney, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), Washington Governor Jay Inslee, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Beto O’Rourke, Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). Despite the number of candidates, the word tax was used just 18 times throughout the evening: more than 20% of the time, it was used by a moderator.
