David Cay Johnston - sports teams subsidized by the poor and middle class

From our very own David Cay, about whom we have posted before, comes this interview by Amy Goodman:

3:30: He talks about starving our public parks for money while we subsidize the “Big Four”.

4:20: He speaks to how a deficit of publicly sponsored  youth activities has led to an increase in urban and suburban gang membership.

5:40: Bush-Baby and the Texas Rangers, Eminent Domain, and our money in W’s pocket.

Hope you enjoyed the Super Bowl yesterday.  Apparently we’re all paying for it.
