It is amazing how leftists are drawn to foundations and nonprofits. They seem determined to never do anything productive.

It’s time to shut down this communist front organization in America and take away its tax sheltered funding of traitorous activities working against the American people.

Put this enemy of America OUT OF BUSINESS !

Trump needs to come out in favor of radically changing the tax code. Tax these foundations, tax university endowments, tax churches, end the carried interest deductions, a 70% tax on remittances and any money flowing out of the US.

If a business isn't going to pay it's employees at a level that the employee can live without government assistance, then tax that business an additional amount to cover what the government spends on benefits. Tax corporations on worldwide income.

Founder’s children often direct foundations after the (usually) well intentioned founder dies. They feel guilt from their wealth. Saw it with the Packard Foundation, Hewlett and Moore (Gordon).

I hope President Trump can work with Congress to make it retrocatively illegal to fund Marxist organizations dedicated to the destruction of the US. It would be fun to see this scum rounded up and tossed into Gitmo.

I saw it up close and personal with the Robert R McCormick Foundation.

Foundations need to be banned.

It is not that there are not good ones—but the bad ones cause so much damage that there would be a net benefit in eliminating all of them.

Good article.

These foundations; Ford, Tides, Rockefeller Bros, Soros, Gates, assorted NGOs, UN; working with the China, Russia, Iran axis to implement worldwide communism.

Our own Deep State is one of their many tentacles.

All, very murky and out in the open, at the same time.

Yes, most foundations are infested by marxists. They are a threat {a domestic enemy) and should be shut down for unconstitutional activities.

Who is the Ford foundation, who are the directors who make decisions?

Leftists are drawn to power over others. Power is their “god”, their idol, and their lust for it is insatiable.

Money = Power

“Other Peoples’ Money” is the best kind of money for them. They don’t have to do the awful work of actually earning it. They just take it. Foundations and Government are the largest concentrations of Other Peoples’ Money, therefore leftists are attracted to them.

Leftists don’t lust after money for its own sake, although they’re happy to have it and enjoy it. What really gets them going is having their boots on your neck.

I made a lot of mistakes,” Henry Ford II told an interviewer in 1973, “but the biggest mistake I ever made was to give up control of the Ford Foundation.” The foundation, he said, had “been a fiasco from my point of view from day one. And it got out of control.”

True, but wherever he is, he shouldn't beat himself up too much over it. All big foundations are more or less like that nowadays.

Taking the money of the evil capitalists, and using it for their destruction - 'productive' is a relative term.

They're quite busy with their mission.

“In 1920, Ford began publishing a weekly series called “The International Jew: The World’s Problem” on the paper’s front page. The series was based on an antisemitic hoax known as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which purported to reveal a global Jewish conspiracy for money and power. (In 1921, the London Times debunked the Protocols as a plagiarism largely based on a French political satire that didn’t mention Jewish people.) Ford continued his antisemitic series for several years and extended its reach by distributing the paper in Ford car dealerships around the country and republishing it in four booklets.”
