Solving The Problem Of People Losing Homes With Huge Corporate Tax Breaks
-- by Dave Johnson
The economic crisis is just another opportunity to raid the treasury on behalf of the big corporations. Like 9/11, Katrina, etc., making the vastly rich vastly richer. What else would you expect?
Big Tax Breaks for Businesses in Housing Bill,
The tax provisions of the Foreclosure Prevention Act, which consumer groups and labor leaders say amount to government handouts to big business, show how the credit crisis, while rattling the housing and financial markets, has created beneficiaries in the power corridors of Washington.There is still time to fight this -- but only if we can get the public to start acting like citizens participating in their government instead of consumers watching a TV show.
