Maybe Google's slogan should be updated to read: Do be Evil
Google is in bed with Grover Norquist, ALEC and many other of the Koch Brothers favorite front groups.
Don’t Be Evil? Google Funding a Slew of Right-Wing Groups
By Nick Surgey
Organizations that received “substantial” funding from Google for the first time over the past year include Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform, the Federalist Society, the American Conservative Union (best known for its CPAC conference) and the political arm of the Heritage Foundation that led the charge to shut down the government over the Affordable Care Act: Heritage Action.
In 2013, Google also funded the corporate lobby group, the American Legislative Exchange Council, although that group is not listed as receiving “substantial” funding in the list published by Google.
MD examined the information released by Google for the years 2010 to 2013. The voluntary disclosures indicate that the following groups are either new grantees of Google since September 2012, or have been listed as having received a “substantial” Google grant for the first time:
American Conservative Union
Americans for Tax Reform
CATO Institute
Federalist Society
George Mason University Law School Law and Economics Center
Heritage Action
Mercatus Center
National Taxpayers Union
R Street Institute
Texas Public Policy Foundation
Detailed information on each of these groups can be found at CMD’s Sourcewatch website.
Another corporate giant seduced by the ethic of naked greed for the elites.
