2007.Iratethata numberof individualsandorganizationsuse factsto disprovetheirpropaganda,a
numberof anti-capitalistactivistsissueanad-hominemsmear.Theyarbitrarilyinsinuatethat any expertor
organizationwhodisagreeswiththem,musthave—at sometimeor another—receivedsomekindof
fundingfromthe big corporationsthatthe anti-capitalistshate.In the anti-capitalist’s book,shouldit be
the casethatDr. X has everreceivedcorporatefunding,mustbe somepaidshill,thenany information
that Dr. X can cite shouldbe rejectedas categoricallyunreliable.
Thatattitudeis utterlyasinine.Factsare facts,regardlessof whocitesthemor for whatpurpose.Werean
expertto tell you thatgravitationexists,shouldyou automaticallydisbelievein gravitationif Exxonpaid
the expertto divulgethis fact to you?The factscan be assessedby themselves.A fact cannotbe reason-
ablydiscountedon the sole basisthat the fact’s divulgerreceivedcorporatefundingat sometime.
Theanti-capitalist’s smearrelieson theseassumptions:(1) anythingsaidby a not-for-profitgroupthat
railsagainstselfishness,is necessarilyhonest;and (2) any fact citedby a for-profitorganization,for self-
servingpurposes,is necessarilyuntrustworthy.SinceI wantto put this demagogueryto rest,something
elsemustbe mentioned.It is utterlyself-defeatingfor somebodyto say thatanti-businessgroupshave
morecredibilitythanpro-marketgroupson accountof therebeinga directpositivecorrelationbetween
howmuchcorporatefundinga thinktankreceivesand howdishonestit is. The reasonis thatbusiness-
hatingadvocacygroupsreceivemorecorporatefundingthando free-marketthinktanks.

notesthis.DavidHogbergand SarahHaneylookedat the 2003–2004IRS tax filingsof the 53Fortune 100
companiesthathavenot-for-profitcharitablefoundationsfor donatingto politicalgroups.Theydivided
politicalgroupsbetween“rightwing” and “leftwing.” In this context,“leftwing” meansthosethat favorof
highertaxes,moreregulation,andmoresocialwelfareprograms.Concordantly,“rightwing” groups
favorthe opposite.Hogbergand Haneyfound,“The politicalleft receivednearly59 milliondollars,while
the politicalrightreceivedonlyabout4 milliondollars,a ratioof 14.5to 1.” Whenonesubtractsthe
GoldmanSachsFoundation’s enormousgrantto the WildlifeConservationSociety,donationsto the
politicalLeftare still greaterthanto the Rightby 5.8 to 1. TheJ. P. MorganChaseFoundationdonated
almost1.2 milliondollarsto leftwinggroupsandnothingto anyrightwinggroup.Citigroupdonated

assumethatthis washushmoney,thenit did not work,as the anti-capitalists’ denunciationscontinue.
