We've all heard the statistics: 47% of the population doesn't pay taxes. Or the wealthy pay most of the taxes. It ain't necessarily so, says investigative reporter, David Cay Johnston. His article, "What aren't you telling us about taxes" appeared recently in Las Vegas CityLife and he joins us to explicate those nine things we aren't being told ... and a few more.

GUEST:

David Cay Johnston, author of "Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense (and Stick You With the Bill)" and columnist for Tax.com
