Friday 7AM Neil deMause from Fieldofschemes.com joins me to talk about tax dollars for The Magic.

Here is a website that has been established to educate taxpayers who are against paying for new ballparks, arenas and stadiums for the multi-million dollar owners who want it all for free!

There are great chat rooms, research papers on economical misrepresentations and the latest news, editorials and commentary on every city that is considering a building for the team owners.

Fieldofschemes.com is the companion website to "Field of Schemes: How the Great Stadium Swindle Turns Public Money Into Private Profit" (Common Courage Press), by Joanna Cagan and Neil deMause.

Since 1998, this website (and authors) we have been casting a critical eye on the roughly $2 billion a year in public subsidies that go toward building new pro sports facilities.

Hat tip to Eric Hogue for the lead.
