The corporate sponsor lists go on and on. I fail to see what your damn point it is? Every national organization and Political Party takes money from anyone. Do not try and defame the CATO institute, or anyone else for that matter with these semantical listings of Corporate sponsors. When you donate to CATO it is a tax deduction, so you can see the idea behind Corporate Donations, howevor it is not propped up by Corporate and Trust Donations.
