You CAN Get a Free Lunch!

Want to cut your taxes... legally?

Just hire some powerful lobbyists!

That's the message of a new book...

Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense (and Stick You with the Bill) by David Cay Johnston.

“If you’re concerned about congressional earmarks, stock options (especially backdated options), hedge fund tax breaks, abuse of eminent domain, subsidies to sports teams, K Street lobbyists, the state of our health-care system, to say nothing of the cavernous gap between rich and poor, you’ll read this fine book—as I did—with a growing sense of outrage. Free Lunch makes it clear that it’s high time for ‘We the People’ to stand up and be counted.”
—John C. Bogle, founder and former chairman, The Vanguard Group

Can't afford a lobbyist? Then be prepared to cough up a higher percentage of your personal income.

That's the way the system works...

Lobbyists wouldn't have it any other way!
