Description
"Billionaire Bingo is the story of where our lost money went. A sneaky tax tidal wave recently swamped our hard-working middle class and shanghaied it far beyond the South China Sea. Big Oil and Big Banks slurped up big bailouts and windfall profits, paid NO taxes, and commanded us 'Middle-Classmates' to bail them out. One dynamic century ago, our Motor City-Detroit, Michigan launched both Henry Ford's billionaire parade AND the American Middle Class. ... Why are we now drowning in debt? Why has so much of our fading future been wrestled into submission by hedge-fund gamblers, untaxed mighty corporations, and predatory financial-planning casinos, or sub-prime mortgage loan banks? Do America's current financial wizards now threaten a scary scenario? ... Is the American Dream wobbling between hope and despair over stormy seas?"--P. [4] of cover.
