The hurried legislation adopted by a Congress voting under the threat of sudden global economic collapse led to hidden tax breaks for firms in dozens of industries. They included builders of Nascar auto-racing tracks, restaurant chains such as Burger King Holdings Inc., movie and television producers -- and London’s Diageo.

That's a rum producer in England. Yeah. That's right. Our representatives were (allegedly) threatened with martial law if we didn't give tax breaks to fast food companies and alcohol producers!
