But if they don't get it from the government, they'll get it somewhere else, and then that will create incentives for the organization to align with the politics of whoever gives them the money. There's no escaping the implicit dependence that comes with accepting money.

The biggest governments in the world don't need anymore consolidated power. > I think we just need to reduce the amount of discretion involved in government action of all kinds. This we both agree on.

Other sources usually use money to back their political power, which is another problem altogether - political power should NEVER come solely from money.
