I received this link in an email I got from my broker.  I believe it needs to be seen by everyone who pays taxes. (and even those who don’t yet) I am beyond words with this.  Its unbelieveable to me that in these times of hardship, banks can get away with this B.S.  I do not want MY TAX DOLLARS going for this kind of subsidy.  We all need to write to our congressmen and demand something be done about this.
