Best Answer

A kickback is a deal people make that benefits one person over another. It usually refers to political bribery.

A recent, well-known kickback was the Cornhusker Kickback. The Democrats did not have enough votes for Obamacare, so they bought off Democratic Senator Ben Nelson for the final vote. To buy his vote, the Democrats offered to give Senator Ben Nelson's state of Nebraska special status above other states. This did not go over well, and in the final bill, all states received the same special privileges as Nebraska.
