charlie5 0 #5 March 6, 2012 It's a group they help cofound and they continue to pour a lot of money into. I can see both sides of the argument, but ultimately I still think they'll be pushing for freer markets regardless of leadership. I'm guessing the social aspects such as legalizing drugs will take a back seat. CATO has been pretty "radical" compared to the rest of the big DC think tanks, perhaps they're trying to steer CATO to take a less radical approach to slowly attract more conservative/libertarians to work together. Again, the Kochs put their money where their mouths are and CATO will continue, it would be silly for them to try to impede something they've poured millions into.The feather butts bounce off ya like raindrops hitting a battle-star when they come in too fast...kinda funny to watch. - airtwardo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

masterrig 1 #7 March 6, 2012 It doesn't bother me if legalizing drugs takes a back seat. It would seem silly for them to give-up on something they've put so much money into. Just sounds to me like they are just trying to gain conntrol and circumvent the government. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
