Free Market Think Tanks Don't Practice What They Preach
There are hundreds of free market think tanks in the world that can
only survive by being government designated registered charities.
They issue tax deductible receipts to the individuals and corporations
who give them money.
These free market think tanks denounce welfare bums and economic losers.
They denounce goverment services.
They demand that everyone must sink or swim in the free market.
But they do not practice what they preach.
They are not free market corporations competing to
sell a product in the free market.
They preach capitalism but beg for charity handouts.
