Following Abramoff's Money

Raw Story has posted an article that follows some of the money that convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff received from Indian gambling casino interests. The trail leads to a money laundering tax evasion scheme through Gover Norquist's non-profit Americans for Tax Reform. About five million dollars works its way to Religious Right political organizer Ralph Reed.

This is a story about the corrupting influence of power and money. It is a microcosm of the history of contemporary America.
