DESCRIPTION:Author Event: David Cay Johnston, The Fine Print: How Big Companies Use 
 "Plain English" to Rob You Blind\n\nWhether he's exposing unjust loopholes 
 in the tax code that help the rich get richer or pointing out how powerful 
 corporations pocket government subsidies at excessive taxpayer expense, 
 bestselling author Johnston (Free Lunch) is an eloquent town crier for 
 justice and equality. Now this local writer has turned his attention to the 
 sneaky stipulations hidden in the fine print of just about every contract 
 and government rule. He reveals how businesses, with the consent of 
 government agencies, rip off consumers in plain sight. No other modern 
 country gives corporations the unfettered power found in America to gouge 
 customers, shortchange workers, and erect barriers to fair play. Although 
 Johnston's research is meant to shame those responsible for this injustice, 
 the book also serves to empower recipients of the bills so they can demand 
 repayment and maybe even systemic reform. The author hopes to encourage 
 organized campaigns aimed at all levels and branches of government. 
 \n\nEvent is free.\n
