Examines the distorted economic policies and corruption that gets fostered in this financial environment. Certainly makes the need for re- examining our economic/ government policies as our nation enters into another guilded age.

Very informative and easy to follow.

At times I found the information provided so upsetting I had to turn it off. That should be taken as an ultimate compliment, considering the subject matter. What made this so interesting throughout was that the author used many different scenarios to make his point.

What our representatives have allowed to happen in tax policies, lack of oversight etc. is nothing short of criminal. If only every person in our country spent just a few hours each month listen/reading materials like this, maybe we would not all fall for the sound bites we are fed by our political representatives we would not be selling the very future of our company to the elite few.

Thank you Mr. Johnston for this very illuminating read.

What made the experience of listening to Free Lunch the most enjoyable?

The openess of how the author discusses tax bailouts for Corporate America. No this is not about the Oil Companies. They aren't even the biggest offenders. WalMart and Cabela's are some of the worst. I know you Right Wing Conservatives might be shocked at Cabela's being on this list. But they have made an art out of demanding tax breaks from the Federal Gov't down to the local city or county agencies.

We hear the politician keep blowing hot air about people on welfare. Yet not once have I heard one of them complain about the ongoing Tax Welfare for the Mega Corporations. If more people were to read or listen to this book then maybe would could get the politicians to do something about it.

I recommend this book to anyone that is interested in wasteful Gov't spending! It eye opening and all revealing.

If you could give Free Lunch a new subtitle, what would it be?

This book documents with facts and entertaining true stories how the corporate world and their high paid lobbyists have taken over our government to enrich the few at the expense of the many. For anyone who wants to know where all our money went, this is a must read! The narration makes it all the better as it is by the author himself, and he does an excellent job. I was sad when it ended and look forward to Mr Johnston's next book.

A Must Listen! Great narration!

What did you like best about Free Lunch? What did you like least?

The reader isn't too boring. He does a decent job at reading his own book. But how can the author of his own book skip so much? I read the book while he talks, and he skips too much. smh

What other book might you compare Free Lunch to and why?

I have no answer to this. It is a book about the government and corruption

Reader skips so many paragraphs that I lose track
