Book Synopsis
Aalyzes the "hidden" welfare state created by such programs as tax deductions for home mortgage interest and employer-provided retirement pensions, the Earned Income Tax Credit, and the Targeted Jobs Tax Credit. This book focuses on the reasons why individuals, businesses, and public officials support tax expenditures.

Trade Review
"Mr. Howard's book is not meant for the reader with a casual interest in his subject. But... it stimulates all sorts of radical thoughts--some of them perhaps more radical than the author intended."--David Frum, The Wall Street Journal
