“Why, asks the MacIver Institute, ‘is the government lobbying the government?’ MacIver calls itself Wisconsin’s ‘free-market voice.’ It is a privately funded outfit that makes the case for less government in the Badger State. It has to earn its funds from donors who can, at any moment, stop donating money. One of the things the MacIver Institute found itself up against are other think-tanks and apparently donor-funded organizations advocating for more government in the state, for more programs, bigger programs, and more taxes to feed all the great new stuff. And it turns out that several of these advocacy organizations are themselves funded by government!” (04/10/26)
