These tax-exempt foundations are another leg of government in the United States that the founding fathers did not count on. They should be abolished.
Corporations should not be permitted to influence the government in any way. We, the people, have the right to petition government. Not tax-exempt foundations or corporations. Neither can vote, niether are people or citizens.
Good points.
My ps view on this is....
These so called foundations that are tax exempt are nothing more than fronts controlled by large private parasidic multinational companies/corparations milking the/'our' system dry to their own sadistic agenda.
Slowly but surely we are watching our own goverments, which we keep employed through our own hard earned tax dollars, give up most of our basic rights and services to these multinational elite. Remembering the government are there for the sole purpose to serve it's people....''put in place by it's people to serve it's people'', not private companies/corparations, who make mega profits annualy off the blood, sweat and tears of it's bottom end employes which incidentaly are the backbone of these companies that run in third world countries for chicken feed wages.....they have to maximize their profits from every possible continency you see.
As for these multinationals permitted to influence our government,...unfortunataly they have not just influenced in the past but 'controlled' major discisions making within the government that effect our everyday lives even more so as we sit here.
It's been said that prime ministers, presidents etc, are not 'elected but selected' by.....you guessed it, and that i believe is happening more so today than any other time in our history.
Sure we vote them in who ever they might be, but as was stated on a another similar thread to this one the elected on either side are under the control of this elite shadow private government who are really running the show. Anyone that steps out of line especially in the higher ranks of our government dept's.....well we all knows what becomes of them.....early permanent retirement, minus the health benifits and superannuation package.
