Analyzes the "hidden" welfare state created by such programmes as tax deductions for home mortgage interest and employer-provided retirement pensions, the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Targeted Jobs Tax Credit. The text examines the distinctive characteristics of these policies, aiming to help the reader to understand the historical links between the hidden welfare state and US tax policy, accentuating the importance of Congress and political parties. It also focuses on the reasons why individuals, businesses and public officials support tax expenditures.
