Tax-exempt foundations like the Public Welfare Foundation purport to be "charitable" organizations. Yet, ironically, in 2009 it gave a $160,000 grant to In These Times magazine for the "charitable" purpose of just setting up a blog for middle-class "left" journalists. By accepting such bribes/"grants" from various U.S. power elite foundations to subsidize their operations, U.S. left "ngo" groups seem to have involved themselves in a hyypocrtical classist tax-dodge and conflict-of-interest situation. The extremely wealthy folks and plutocrats who control U.S. foundations, the U.S. mass media industry, the U.S. corporations and big banks and the U.S. electoral process should now be prohibited from using their tax-exempt grant money to exercise an undemocratic special influence over the U.S. left's political agenda in 2009, during the current U.S. economic depression.. It's time to finally reduce the special influence of the power elite foundations (and the middle-class grant-hustlers they currently subsidize) over the classist U.S. left and finally create an anti-corporate/anti-classist New Left that actually works to redistribute the surplus wealth of the "non-profit" foundations directly to U.S. working-class people and unemployed people during the current U.S. economic depression.
