Paying For It

The problems we encounter every day are caused by the people who hold public office or are somehow paid by the taxpayers. I don’t care if that’s as a welfare recipient, or as an employee of an NGO. 

Let’s take Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) for example. They’re not what they purport to be. They’re funded by the government in many substantive ways, through government grants, or the more clever way is to give corporation “A” a huge contract, who then, understanding how Washington works better than any average citizen, donate some of that huge payout to four or five NGOs that work to support and illuminate issues or activities that benefit the four or five key members of the committee that awarded the contract. They might do it beforehand, to secure the votes, but that risks charges of bribery or coercion. To do it afterward makes no sense to those who have not been down that road a time or two and understand the machinations. Sure, they could cheat those on the deciding committee, but that would be the last contract they ever saw.

  1. My career has been decimated by ENGOs (environmental NGOs). Mostly, The Nature Conservancy , Environmental Defense, and The Center For Biological Diversity. These groups are using taxpayer money to bring down America's food producing industries in addition to all other resource extraction industries. The money they have to throw around makes them basically unstoppable. Presently they are working to destroy the New England lobster business and the California Dungeness crab fishery.

    1. But they, the ENGOs, are pushing wind farms in the tidal flats and in the estuaries and in the oceans even though wind farms have been shown to kill fish and fuck whales up and destroy whole fisheries just from the low frequency vibrations from the propeller tips. That's not counting the ecological damage from the leaking oil, which if a lobsta boat leaked that much, the owner would be fined into the next generation or so after having his boat siezed and possibly his property.

      Yeah.

      Fucking watemelons. Green on the outside, Red on the inside.

  2. The politicians have figured out they can use the non-profits as their henchmen. The illegals from the south have US Aid bags. Taxpayer is funding the invasion. I think all organizations should be taxed. Non-profits included.
