The "Heritage Foundation" (originator of the supposed data relevant to this
post) has for its basic principles the following:
"1. To reorient American politics toward the First Principles of the American
Founding.
2. To reshape public policy to reflect our constitutional framework of limited
government.
3. To unify and revive a robust conservatism around, and in defense (sic) of,
these core principles.
4. To provide the next generation with a strong foundation for learning and
promoting our nation's founding principles."
Whatever. The whole shebang is a form of political propaganda, which needs to
be taken in the context it is written in. Once viewed in that most likely
biased context, it makes a bit of sense. If you read the statement of purpose,
it reads like typical educated right-wing political philosophical rhetoric.
Well, good for a smile I suppose. Except that people are killing innocent
citizens and trying to kill leaders over these political discussions in the US.
That makes it all very sad.

That's code for unfettered Capitalism - which to any sensible person should be
well & truly on the nose after the GFC.
