Synopsis
David Cay Johnston's expose on the fleecing of America shows how, while most citizens are distracted by work, family, etc., the business interests are working assiduously every day to lobby local, state, and national government to pass regulations that favor business interests at the expense of the ordinary citizen. He cites examples of outrageous payoffs to well-connected individuals and corporations--and he reveals that the taxpayers foot the bill! He indicts the health and insurance companies, sports franchises, and wealthy individuals who essentially grab big payoffs, sometimes simply by means of the fine print nobody reads. And all this is done in collusion with those elected to protect the public trust.

Publisher's Note
The author of the best-selling Perfectly Legal identifies inequalities in America's tax system that are placing a large percentage of citizens in financial peril in spite of best practices and a strong U.S. economy, sharing additional coverage of how the government offers favorable treatment to corporations and special interests. Simultaneous.

Industry Reviews
"Some of these stories are well-known...but Johnston's reporting makes the rage boil over anyway....It is Johnston's investigative skills, however, that distinguish the book from the usual social critic's rant. He does his homework, crunches the numbers and makes astonishing discoveries."
