You know what Scaife does with his money.

$5 million to AEI alone.
Scaife owns the rightwingnut thought process.

Richard Mellon Scaife has been referred to as “nothing less than the financial archangel for the [conservative] movement’s intellectual underpinnings.”
His contributions over the years total more than $200 million. His three nonprofit foundations, the Sarah Scaife, Carthage, and Allegheny foundations, have together given away approximately $400,000 a week in recent years, much of the money going to right-wing causes and conservative think tanks.

Scaife largess has benefited groups such as the:

American Enterprise Institute ($5 million)
CATO Institute ($1.8 million)
Institute for Justice ($789,000)
American Legislative Exchange Council (more than $1.4 million)
Heritage Foundation (nearly $20 million)
Manhattan Institute ($3.2 million)
Free Congress Foundation ($16.4 million)
Federalist Society ($2 million)
