The TRUTH about the Heritage Foundation

https://www.heritage.org/about-heritage/mission
Heritage’s mission is to formulate and promote public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense.
Heritage’s world-renowned experts—deeply experienced in business, government, the military, nonprofits, academia, and communications—spend each day developing innovative solutions to the issues America faces. From empowering parents in education, reversing growing spending and inflation, and protecting the unborn, to securing America’s borders, countering the threat of Communist China, holding Big Tech accountable, and ensuring free and fair elections—Heritage is on the front lines in the fight to help Americans thrive.

Our team then takes those solutions directly to decision makers in government, to turn ideas into action. Heritage has been consistently ranked the No. 1 think tank in the world for it.

But we don’t stop there. We also: communicate to citizens how government can work more effectively for all Americans, through traditional media and social media platforms; engage with the international community to promote freedom, peace, and trade that benefits America and the world; train the leaders of tomorrow who will lead America to a brighter future; an help unite the conservatives around principles and ideas that strengthen our cause … and the nation.


You might find this interesting as well, from a source that hasn't always been kind to Heritage.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Heritage_Foundation

The Heritage Foundation was founded on February 16, 1973, during the Nixon administration by Paul Weyrich, Edwin Feulner, and Joseph Coors.[11][12][13] Growing out of the new business activist movement inspired by the Powell Memorandum,[14][15] discontent with Richard Nixon's embrace of the liberal consensus, and the nonpolemical, cautious nature of existing think tanks,[16] Weyrich and Feulner sought to create a conservative version of the Brookings Institution that advanced conservative policies.[11

There was the Brookings Institution (which is clearly a LEFT WING think tank.)
But take a guess what else formed, due to the far left policies of Nixon.

THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY.

In Dave Bergland's book, he maintains that NIxon's far left and economically disastrous policies were the final straw that caused the formation of the Libertarian Party.

Gee! William F. Buckley used to refer to himself at times as a libertarian.

You should read Project 2025 and decide how much self praise is involved.

@Reason10 What do you think of Schedule F?
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Reason10 and what did you get? I read both the department of education and health and human services chapters. They are very frightening. Both attempt to return the country to the 1940s.

@BohemianBabe This is the outline of the policy suggestions from Project 2025.
https://www.project2025.org/policy/

ve State.

This book is the product of more than 400 scholars and policy experts from across the conservative movement and around the country. Contributors include former elected officials, world-renowned economists, and veterans from four presidential Administrations. This is an agenda prepared by and for conservatives who will be ready on Day One of the next Administration to save our country. The Heritage Foundation is once again facilitating this work, but as our dozens of partners and hundreds of authors will attest, this book is the work of the entire conservative movement.

The next conservative President will enter office on January 20, 2025, with a simple choice: greatness or failure. It will be a daunting test, but no more so than every other generation of Americans has faced and passed. The Conservative Promise represents the best effort of the conservative movement in 2023—and the next conservative President’s last opportunity to save our republic.

As you can see, it's very long. I tried looking up Schedule F, and so far have gotten as many different opinions as I've gotten sources, which means those sources have not read this material. NONE of them have given a link to where Schedule F is, in this very long document. And because they are all over the place with their hate-monger OPINIONS, they are no help in streamlining this process.

I can see Legally Elected President Trump not reading this because it's not his thing.
I could go through each PDF (which I'm kinda doing now) and try to explain what each means, but seeing how STUPID the left wingers here have been on the Economics 101 thread, it's just not worth the time.
I have about three weeks before I go back to work as a sub.

But I'll read the different views of Schedule F and if I see any language in this huge document that mentions it, I'll let you know. I know you haven't read this.

@Reason10 I haven't looked at every resume, but did look at that of the author of the health and education chapters. They are far right, the health author served in the Trump administration, need I really say more. If you read his chapter, you find that he is not only for a total ban on abortion, but is opposed to both on vitro fertilization and the use of surrogates. He is against both same sex marriages and single women as head of households. He wants to make medical.care to tally free market. That will.bring is back to medicine can be in the forties. He denigrates the effects immunizations. I could go on, but why dont you read it?
@Reason10 Schedule F is the plan to fire everyone in the administrative state and replace them with loyalists to Trump. Trump enacted Schedule F at the end of his presidency, but when Biden became president, he overturned it. This time, Trump would pass Schedule F at the beginning of his presidency, so the Republicans will have plenty of time to carry the plan out. This would basically turn America into a dictatorship.

@Reason10 That's because any Republican can do Schedule F, it's not specific to Trump. However, Trump is the nominee, so he'd be doing it if he wins. And he did it last time, it just wasn't carried out because Biden won.

What do you think about Schedule F?

@independentone And liberals are welfare bums living on taxes paid by working Conservatives.

You goose steppers have a FRACTION of the brains of conservatives.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Reason10 what percentage of taxes are paid by which group? Take a look at the taxes paid in individual states compared to the taxes returned to them. It is difficult to look at states as conservative active or liberal. But, if you will allow that by and large conservatives are more likely the live in red states, then look at the educational level by that, taxes paid by that. I think you will find that your statement is false.
@Reason10 Yeah, not all of us can be so well educated, we are qualified to teach typing like yourself 🤣🤦‍♂️

@Reason10 oh sure Limbaugh is such a reliable source. Yes, of you look at raw tax, at the club animation of the taxes the wealthy pay in payroll taxes for their employees, etc., it may appear the rich pay more. Do you understand the reasons for aggravated tax system? The lowest income people are more effected by taxes then the rich. The amount of discretionary income they have placed them into a difficult situation
