Americans Paying More in Taxes than for Food, Clothing, and Shelter - Combined. by Thrudhammerin politics

[–]gliese581b 0 points1 point ago*

The Tax Foundation has ties to ALEC and has always been a plutocratic echo chamber since its founding in 1937.

Founding members included:

Alfred P. Sloan, General Motors Corporation, chairman

Donaldson Brown, General Motors Corporation financial vice president

William S. Farish, Standard Oil Company, President

Lewis H. Brown, President of the Johns-Manville Corporation

The Tax Foundation's President, Scott A. Hodge, participated in the 2011 American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) Annual Meeting, speaking on the "Corporate Taxes and International Competitiveness Panel" in front of the Tax and Fiscal Policy Task Force, and the Foundation's Vice President of Legal and State Projects, Joe Henchman, introduced the "Resolution Urging Congress to Cut the Federal Corporate Tax Rate" model policy at the same meeting.

The Tax Foundation is funded by private donations from members, corporate donations, and donations from charitable foundation such as the Koch Foundation, Earhart Foundation, etc.

Once there is a private profit to be made out of it you can be doubly certain that the lobbyists will make sure that security theater will never, ever end.
