"Here is the secret history of our economic times, a tale of public larceny told plainly and painstakingly and also with a dash of mordant humor. Our erstwhile corporate benefactors have taken us all for a ride. This book is the first step on the long road back."
--Thomas Frank, author of What's the Matter With Kansas?

"LeRoy has his finger on the pulse of what's ailing American communities and destroying jobs and our environment in the process. More importantly, he offers clear, common sense solutions to fix the system. Companies like Wal-Mart aren't going to want you to read this book, which is all the more reason why you should."
--Carl Pope, Executive Director, Sierra Club

"Why aren't we all getting rich on the gazillion jobs being created by corporate tax cuts? Because, as this book reveals, the system is rigged: corporations get huge subsidies while workers get trickle-down lip service."
--Jim Hightower, author of Thieves in High Places and Let's Stop Beating Around the Bush

"This is the definitive Community Defense Manual for every citizen who wants to stop corporations from looting the public treasury and win real community economic development."
--Chuck Collins, Senior Fellow, United for a Fair Economy, and coauthor of Economic Apartheid in America
