WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Taxpayers Protection Alliance (TPA) is deeply concerned about the news that antitrust investigators at the state and federal level are planning to file a lawsuit against Facebook.

Despite a raging pandemic, we all still have plenty to be grateful for as we approach the end of 2020. A vaccine to end the dreaded coronavirus may finally be nearing approval and entrepreneurs continue to innovate to make our lives bearable during an unbearable time. And, thanks to advances in telecommunications technology, we can all be with our families during Thanksgiving whichever way we choose to. But enough of the gravy; this Thanksgiving wouldn’t be complete without some turkeys. There’s no shortage of turkeys in the halls of power, wasting hard-earned taxpayer dollars and pushing for needless regulations to reduce options for consumers. And, just as no tech company is a monopoly (sorry, antitrust zealots), no political party or institution has a monopoly on implementing fowl policies. Below, the Taxpayers Protection Alliance (TPA) presents the Taxpayer Turkeys of 2020:
Carolyn Kaster / AP Underlying most public policies (good or bad) are the best of intentions.
