Sure, I get that you don't agree with me on the results. That's why you vote the way you do and I vote the way I do. That's okay!
But what I'm saying is that a company trying to make it easier for corporations and their shareholders a lot of money is, in this context, synonymous with a company fighting for deregulation and a more free-market economy. Yes/No?
Whereas a company trying to specifically make X Company (say the Kochs) more money could just as easily be trying to get the government to shut down the Kochs' competitors, or securing lucrative government contracts for the Kochs, or otherwise doing things that I think you and I both agree are shady and wrong.
I think that the goal of groups like the Cato Institute is the former, not the latter. And there is nothing clandestine or nefarious about this. They are quite open about being a libertarian-minded free-market organization.

I don't see how this can be called a very different goal. Just a question of the qualifier, the two are linked.

I hope I illuminated in my following post how I feel they are very different goals, or at least how they can be. As in, accomplished through damn near opposite methods.
