Nicholas Johnson on Taxes and Corporate Tax Breaks

Duration: 03:30

Nicholas Johnson is a visiting law professor at the University of Iowa. In a previous life he was a member of the Federal Communications Commission – back when, some say, the FCC was a vigilant watchdog over the nation’s airwaves. As a regulator, Johnson was more concerned about patterns of ownership and fairness than facilitating the broadcast oligarchies of today.

He remains a populist, and while he is still concerned about the current condition of the nation’s broadcast resources, he’s also a little worked up about taxes and tax breaks.
