Mmmm. Lunch!

Donald Trump, Ken Lay, and George Steinbrenner all conspire to siphon billions of dollars from the American middle class.

Wait--it's not a novel!


It's all true!


Hang on to your wallets as NEW YORK TIMES reporter David Cay Johnston documents the various "corporate welfare" ploys used by sports franchises, retailers, megacorps, and anybody else who knows how to parlay a bad balance sheet into political patronage. The rich don't just get richer--they get way richer. Johnston narrates his own work with a newscaster's tone and perspective.

Enjoy
