Gee when they say that we are a "free market" think tank and yet they are quoted from some offcial rag called "City Journal" as objective news my Bulvine Shindinger is ringingSoapBox. So when they say sell off the NE Corridor and to heck with everyone else you should know who our enemy is.

Cato Institute was formerly called Charles Koch Foundation

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

Cato Institute was formerly called Charles Koch Foundation

Yes, but...

"Charles stopped donating personally around 1991 (I don't have an exact date.) He did continue to contribute about $250,000 a year through a foundation he controls (The Claude Lambe Foundation), but that ceased in 2010. David contributed varying amounts from the time he became a shareholder and board member in the 1980s, but his contributions ceased in 2010 as well."

--Ed Crane, on Koch financial participation in the Cato Institute.
