It also would end the scandalous situation under which citizens of states such as New York and Illinois in effect subsidize low tax and welfare levels in other areas, predominantly the South, whose poor still flock to the high-welfare states in order to collect more money...

The FTC has also called for companies using promotions that it deems deceptive to run "corrective" ads admitting the error. One such commercial is being broadcast for Profile Bread, which was touted by the Ted Bates Agency as a diet loaf, though its only...
