My question is not what they are, but who they are. Is CEI a citizens
group? Are
they looking out for me? I think not. They are looking out for the
economy, which
in the wonderful world of reaganomics, has a trickle-down effect to
benefit me.
The common thread between the right-wing and libertarians is they look
out for
business. This seems an irony that the ones with the money (read power)
need a
voice like CEI.
