CATO is merely a tool used by big business to further the purchase of our government by the centralized money of the greedy, nothing to do with liberty.

Check out Lewis Powell and his memo/manifesto.

"The Cato Institute's articles of incorporation were filed in December 1974, with the name "Charles Koch Foundation," listing the original directors as Charles Koch, George Pearson, and Roger MacBride and the same address as Koch Industries in Wichita, Kansas."

CATO's funders include:
- Koch Industries Family Foundation
- Bradley, Lynde and Harry Foundation
- Claws Foundation
- Donors Capital Fund/Donors Trust
- Dunn's Foundation for the Advancement of Right Thinking
- Sarah Scaife Foundation
- Searle Freedom Trust

Many of the funders are also funded by Kochs.
