Or... let these mo-fu's pay tax and claim back on any public good that they can prove that they have done! As it stands I do more good for the environment each time I break wind than the Heritage Foundation has done since its inception.

What other 'foundations' need a good looking over?

1. The MSM can keep citing the American Heritage Foundation...
... and other right-wing anti-tax orgs... as long as they give EQUAL TIME to extreme left wing think tanks. And I don't mean "librals" either. The left wing equivalent would be organizations akin to the Socialist Workers Party, or the Communist Party.

3. They're not even really think tanks but propaganda mills.
They're anti-thinking tanks.

4. But NPR regularly uses these organizations without a single word
about their extremist ideological agenda. They treat the Heritage Foundation as gospel.
