DC Johnston on REAL tax reform

Pulitzer-prize winning journalist and author, David Cay Johnston, is the foremost expert (outside of those who sell tax shelters) on America's crooked tax system, which favors the wealthy and corporations. 

For example, did you know that today more than 25 percent of corporate profits go through the Cayman Islands?  Did you know that the four major U.S. sports leagues receive more in taxpayer subsidies than they do in profit?  Did you know that security alarms cost about $1.8 billion per year, every time the police have to go investigate an alarm, when over 90 percent of calls are for false alarms? 

So, here's a DCJ two-fer for you:
