Description

"Ralph Nader's run for the Presidency raises deep questions about the range of political debate in this country and the state of our democracy. "Cutting corporate welfare" has been the chorus Nader has been belting out in his speeches, interviews, and public statements. In fact, critiquing the relationship between big business and the government has been at the heart of Nader's activism since the 1960s. In this pamphlet, based on testimony he delivered before Congress, Ralph Nader describes how corporations are picking our pockets, and what we can do to stop them."--BOOK JACKET.
