Conservatives have to start looking into who writes the grants in Washington. At the very least, those grants that are paid for with taxpayer money should come under more scrutiny. The private grants come from tax deductible money which could give us the opportunity to tighten regulations.

I have recently read “Foundations of Betrayal” by Phil Kent. This book really goes into how foundations work and how most of them are very leftist.

The web of nonprofit organizations that have mushroomed up because of tax laws is gigantic. Tracking the people circulating back and forth between the organizations and the elected government would require a serious database effort over a long period of time. The difficulty of doing this is a thankless task, but it would shed some light on why our elected politicians basically ignore the public and seem to carry out their orders from somewhere else. George Soros is the easiest target to understand how this works, but this network is huge and extremely influential and never ever reported on unless it is some positive press release. Hopefully, the internet can start tracking this stuff so the average person knows why and who is calling the shots of their elected officials.

The most amusing thing of all is how the multi-billionaires set these things up thereby sheltering their vast wealth and provided unlimited resources to play at being social engineers, while complaining to the masses that under our tax code they don’t pay enough taxes. Somewhere in there is a good satirical play ready for Broadway.
