This "Test" is more precisely a trivia quiz to see how aware you are of corporate welfare, subsidies and other anti-democracy, anti-market policies -- and some alternatives.

You may find a few surprises, too -- many innovative ideas work well without subsidy -- and you will surely have fun. Now get ready!

Warm up with this Practice Question.

Practice Question

The 1872 Mining Law still limits how much the federal government can charge "prospectors" for claiming public land to just $5 per acre. In 1994, one mining company paid the public treasury some $10,000 for about 1,800 acres containing gold worth up to how much?

A.) $10 million
B.) $100 million
C.) $1 billion
D.) $10 billion

I found the question below very interesting!

Question 15

Is the tax code a scoop with just a few holes in it? If so, collected revenue should exceed exempted revenue. Or, is the tax code a trap line whose loops snare only the small incomes while letting large ones lumber by? If so, exempted income should exceed collected revenue. What do IRS figures for 1992, a typical year, show? With $560 billion collected, the amount exempted was:

A.) $490 billion
B.) $550 billion
C.) $660 billion
D.) $710 billion :wtf:

That amount must be gargantuan by now!! :wow:
