Founded in 1984, Capital Research Center is a conservative Washington DC think tank dedicated to monitoring the activities and funding of progressive advocacy organizations.

CRC publishes "Foundation Watch," which ran the article "The Tides Foundation and Center: Unusual Philanthropies Funnel Money to Activist Groups." The article has been re-posted on Heritage "town hall" and elsewhere. CRC is a former member of Alliance for America and is a member of the Cooler Heads Coalition as of 4/04. CRC started its Greenwatch site in 2001, which runs green-bashing articles and reviews books such as "Eco-Imperialism: Green Power, Black Death," by Paul Driessen of the Atlas Economic Research Foundation. In the press release launching the Greenwatch site in the fall of 2001, Rep. Butch Otter (R-ID), called the groups included in the Greenwatch database "extremists," and declared the purpose of the database was to "monitor and keep the extremists in check." Known foundation funders have included The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, the John Olin Foundation, and the Sarah Scaife Foundation (http://www.mediatransparency.org/search_results/info_on_any_recipient.php?48).

“The Pew Center on Global Climate Change recently released its agenda to combat so-called global warming in a report entitled 'Agenda for Climate Action.' Like most left-wing environmentalists’ call to arms, it is a mish mash of bad science and economics....The report also states that, 'Federal policies and R&D; funding should support the use of ethanol and biodiesel today, and drive toward more advanced uses of biomass in the future.' Such policies amount to throwing more money down the sinkhole.”

The GOP voted to cut taxes for millionaires, billionaires, and wealthy corporations, inevitably forcing cuts to programs working families depend on like Medicaid, Medicare, public education, and Social Security.<p style="margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.625rem; vertical-align: baseline; width: 552.203px; float: none;">While passing the largest middle-class tax hike in a generation, the GOP said ‘no thanks’ to helping working families this Thanksgiving. The tax proposal that passed today is wildly unpopular with a majority of Americans, and voters won’t forget those who enabled this hypocrisy. Republicans’ vote today is one that will haunt them in the weeks and months ahead.</blockquote><p style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.625rem; vertical-align: baseline; width: 594.203px; float: none;">‘Fake Grassroots Campaign’<p style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.625rem; vertical-align: baseline; width: 594.203px; float: none;">Most recently, campaign operatives have focused attention on corporate stock buybacks, which they view as harmful to employees. Nicole Gill, the Tax March executive director,<a href="https://notonepenny.org/statement-corporate-stock-buybacks-hit-500-billion-since-gop-tax-law-passed-six-months-ago/" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.25s ease-in-out;"> issued a statement</a> critical of a recent stock buyback by the Walgreens pharmacy giant.<p style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.625rem; vertical-align: baseline; width: 594.203px; float: none;">“We hit a shameful GOP tax law milestone: Wealthy corporations have bought back $500 billion of their own stock, betraying their employees to line the pockets of their CEOs and shareholders,” Gill said. “Despite Republicans’ promises that this law would benefit workers, corporations like Walgreens have used their massive tax savings to make the rich even richer.”<p style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.625rem; vertical-align: baseline; width: 594.203px; float: none;">But in reality, the campaign against the tax cuts isn’t operating in the best interests of average Americans, and doesn’t stem from a spontaneous uprising of concerned citizens, Vadum warned.<p style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.625rem; vertical-align: baseline; width: 594.203px; float: none;">[note # above vs pop psych below]<p style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.625rem; vertical-align: baseline; width: 594.203px; float: none;">“Not One Penny is a fake grassroots campaign created to help the government keep more of your money by making you feel guilty about your own personal financial success. You’re greedy and selfish and you don’t deserve to enjoy the fruits of your labor, according to the group,” Vadum told The Daily Signal, adding:<blockquote style="margin: 20px 0px 40px; padding: 0px 30px; border-width: 0px 0px 0px 4px; border-top-style: initial; border-right-style: initial; border-bottom-style: initial; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: initial; border-right-color: initial; border-bottom-color: initial; border-left-color: rgb(220, 220, 220); border-image: initial; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; quotes: none; box-sizing: border-box; width: 905.469px; background-image: none;">Not One Penny would prefer that your tax dollars be redistributed from worthy programs like national security and immigration enforcement and be used instead on Obamaphones and free college tuition for illegal aliens.Its hateful class warfare agenda is dressed up in bilious nonsense about income inequality, a made-up issue patriotic Americans don’t care about. Not One Penny wants to repeal the hugely economically stimulating tax cuts that President Trump got through Congress and is fine with sabotaging the economy in order to pursue its twisted so-called social justice objectives.</blockquote><p style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.625rem; vertical-align: baseline; width: 594.203px; float: none;">The Daily Signal repeatedly called and emailed the Sixteen Thirty Fund seeking comment for this article, but has not received a response.<p style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.625rem; vertical-align: baseline; width: 594.203px; float: none;">The Daily Signal also emailed the Not One Penny campaign, asking for comment on its policy stance and relationship with Soros-backed organizations. The campaign has not responded.<p style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.625rem; vertical-align: baseline; width: 594.203px; float: none;">Potential Political Fallout<p style="font-style: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.625rem; vertical-align: baseline; width: 594.203px; float: none;">James Pinkerton, a policy veteran in the administrations of Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, helped lead a coalition supporting passage of  the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. In a phone interview with The Daily Signal, Pinkerton said the Not One Penny campaign could complicate the election strategy of “more moderate, establishment Democrats” who are ambitious to take back the House in November.  <p style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.625rem; vertical-align: baseline; width: 594.203px; float: none;">“There’s always a tension between ideologues and moderates,” Pinkerton said. “But it’s especially acute this time around with the Democrats.”<p style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.625rem; vertical-align: baseline; width: 594.203px; float: none;">The “progressive, ideological base” of the Democratic Party is the motivating factor behind the anti-tax cut campaign, he said.<p style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.625rem; vertical-align: baseline; width: 594.203px; float: none;">“Institutional Democrats are in a quandary because the base is demanding an absolute rejection of Trump,” Pinkerton told The Daily Signal, adding:<blockquote style="font-weight: inherit; margin: 20px 0px 40px; padding: 0px 30px; border-width: 0px 0px 0px 4px; border-top-style: initial; border-right-style: initial; border-bottom-style: initial; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: initial; border-right-color: initial; border-bottom-color: initial; border-left-color: rgb(220, 220, 220); border-image: initial; font-variant: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; quotes: none; box-sizing: border-box; width: 905.469px; background-image: none;"><p style="margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 1.625rem; vertical-align: baseline; width: 552.203px; float: none;">This puts institutional Democrats, the more moderate, establishment types, in a difficult spot because they have to be careful about trying to destroy something that seems to be working. We are looking at a bit of a replay of the 2016 primary race between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.</blockquote><p style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px;
