A libertarian prat and CATO parrot.He retails rubbish from discredited
racist scum like Tim May and refuses to retract lies in his archives.(at
least one I know about.)
Ah well cheats never prosper.His CATO funeral plan will probably bury him
at Arlington.

Cato is famous for the dishonesty, not to say nuttiness, of its analyses.
In 1996, egged on by a handful of Arkansans with inherited money, Cato
reported that Arkansas was a high-tax state, higher even than states with
superior social services - California, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York.
State tax officials quickly used real numbers from the Census Bureau to
show that Arkansas is in fact a low-tax state, as reasonable people knew
all along. The Arkansas property tax Cato wants to abolish is the lowest in
the nation, and gives meager support to one of the poorest educational
systems.
In its way, Cato is as fantastic as Free Republic, the Clinton-hating
creepies Huckabee partied with at Bush's inauguration. Cato is
better-funded, though, as you'd expect from a group that furnishes
propaganda for Big Oil, Big Tobacco, Big Drugs and Big Media, among others.
Major contributors to Cato include Chevron, Exxon, Philip Morris, R. J.
Reynolds, Eli Lilly, Pfizer, Federal Express, American Express, GTE,
Microsoft, Citicorp, Salomon Brothers - the beat goes on.
That Cato is treated with undeserved respect by journalists, that its
sources of funding are rarely mentioned, is partly because Cato's board of
directors includes the unsavory Rupert Murdoch and other media moguls.
