{David_Cay_Johnston}:
:  In a small town in the Poconos in  Pennsylvania, a fellow named  Jim Weaknecht  ran a little fin, feather, and fur outfitting club.  He sold  hunting bows and  fishing tackle  and things like that.  One day a big company named  Cabela%27s  came to town.  This little town – 4,100 people – agreed to give  Cabela’s $36 million to build the world’s largest outdoor goods store.   That’s over $8,000 for every man, woman and child in  Hamburg, more than the entire city budget for everything --  police patrols,  road repair  – for more than a decade.  Jim Weaknecht charged lower prices.  He was run out of business.  While he thinks he might have been run out of business anyway, he also says that this isn’t fair.  This is not business.  This is the government helping the politically connected.  I think most people walking into a  WalMart, Cabela’s, … {and} a lot of other stores {-} have absolutely no idea that the  sales tax  money is going to the owners of the store.

thread_title:  We need better [[ disambiguation]]. 

message: 1. In the two sections (two?) that deal with Johnston's books, I'm wondering why the information isn't presented in chronological order?
2. There's no mention of his contributory participation in television news shows. Perhaps he contributes to radio, too, but I don't know about that.
3. There's no mention of the documentary Heist: Who Stole the American Dream? in which Johnston is a featured expert: http://heist-themovie.com/featuredExperts.html
4. This information, from a site that appealed for funding for the Heist: Who Stole the American Dream? film, provides a citation for his family information: http://mourningamerica.com/david_cay_johnston.html
5. Online chat about his tax opinions from Forbes: http://www.forbes.com/2004/02/12/0212chat_transcript.html
I don't know how to create or re-number citations and since it literally takes hours to try to figure out how to do anything here on WP, I'm leaving it to those who already know. Thanks and carry on, Wordreader (talk) 21:06, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
