Tea Party Quitter DeMint Cashes In, Exposing DC’s Dark Side
DeMint’s leaving to run the Heritage Foundation, a right-wing Reagan-era “think tank.” Is he a policy expert, a problem solver, a “thinker”? What was DeMint’s professional background before he entered politics?
Sales. DeMint ran a small marketing group (1-4 employees, according to business databases) in Greenville, South Carolina.
That’s not as incongruous as it sounds.The Heritage Foundation is a marketing organization, founded by billionaires and corporations to provide cogent-sounding arguments – sales pitches, really – for policies which favor them at the public’s expense.
“Join Rush Limbaugh and nearly 700,000 other conservatives as a Member of The Heritage Foundation today,” chirps the “think tank’s” website - presumably because the first name that comes to mind when Americans hear the word “thinker” is Rush Limbaugh.
DeMint’s new job will undoubtedly consist of promoting far-right ideas, lobbying his fellow politicians, and raising money from millionaires, billionaires, and corporations. |
