The Mises Institute eschews the term "think tank" and does not lobby for any government policy. Its founders purposefully put its headquarters far away from Washington DC because they did not want to be viewed as a lobbying organization or a "think tank". They view their mission as an educational organization, and offer tons of ebooks, audio and video lectures free of cost on their website. Whether you agree or disagree with some of the positions espoused, that's another issue. In summary, rather than going for the ad hominem, debate the actual arguments made in the article.
