Starting now on public television stations and YouTube: Cato senior fellow Johan Norberg presents his latest public television documentary, Corporate Welfare: Where’s the Outrage? The documentary features personal stories of the effects of tax exemptions, subsidies, government regulations, and bailouts – all commonly used to help big business. Norberg delves into America’s system of farm subsidies, Tax Increment Financing (TIF), Big Oil subsidies, government policies, and tax breaks for big business, and offers a perspective of the 2008 financial crash from the viewpoint of a banker caught in the middle. The program takes viewers across America to talk with individuals whose lives and livelihood have been directly affected by the outrages of corporate welfare.
