Some issues that effect many more americans include: 1. How many people have had to pay more in taxes to pay for government because acorn encouraged individuals to cheat the IRS. 2 How much has it cost tax payers to pay for government assistance benefiting individuals from using acorn's advice to lie on taxes. 3. What has been the cost to the entire Americans economy due to acorns participation in getting people into home they could not afford resulting in mortgage crisis and credit crunch, worsening an economic swing.
