Making the Rich Richer 0
How it was done:
The author was interviewed on Fresh Air last week. From the website:
Cay Johnston covers tax policy for The New York Times, where he won a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting on that beat. His previous book, Perfectly Legal: The Covert Campaign to Rig Our Tax System to Benefit the Super Rich — and Cheat Everybody Else, was a best seller.
His description of how the Current Federal Administrator got his fortune by spinning the Texas Rangers for taxpayers’ money and a tax increase is well worth the 45 minutes of the interview. (If you want to go right to it, it’s approximately–and I do mean approximately, as I was in the dental chair when I listened to it–it’s about 20 minutes in.)
Follow the link to the website; it’s well worth a listen.
