NOW with Bill Moyers. Transcript. David Brancaccio Interviews David Cay Johnston . 2.13.04 | PBS (2629 words)
DAVID CAY JOHNSTON: Well, Oliver Wendell Holmes-- the jurist, said 80 years, "The taxes are the price we pay for civilization." There are a lot of people who want to have their civilization on a discount or free.
DAVID CAY JOHNSTON: One of the salient features of the Bush tax cuts as opposed to the ones we've had prior to this time is that the tax cuts for the very wealthy become more and more valuable over time because of the nature of their design.
Our politicians are responding as classic economic theory says that they should be doing it, to their real patrons.
Perfectly Legal, David Cay Johnston, ThinkingPeace (1779 words)
David Cay Johnston, the New York Times' chief correspondent in the tax world, is fascinated and reviled by the people who live their lives in the thicket of regulations outlined in these 55,000 pages.
Johnston's chief narrative device is the list; though he embellishes his prose with a smattering of what newspaper reporters might dismissively call "color," his chapters tell no coherent story, and are merely enumerations of the sneaky tax tricks rich people try to pull.
Johnston's prose is laden with statistics, and though some of those stats are astonishing (for example, the richest 13,000 households in the country own about 5.1 percent of the nation's wealth), there is a dearth of explanation for how, and why, things got to be this way.
