@taxpolblog @FairSkat @joeharpaz so that if they ever release a tax transparency report they can report those as public contributions?

@SoongJohnston @FairSkat @joeharpaz precisely, exactly right.

@taxpolblog @SoongJohnston Let's not get all pessimistic! At least they're open about their engagement with tax policy-making. Baby-steps :)

@FairSkat @SoongJohnston not pessimistic: just not easily fooled. there is nothing new about one group suggesting gov ought to tax another

@FairSkat @SoongJohnston don't tax you, don't tax me, tax the fellow behind the tree.

@taxpolblog @SoongJohnston True. But it's possible to be progressive in one area (here:transparency on policy eng.), even w/ other caveats

@FairSkat @SoongJohnston nah it just looks like more deflection and more lobbying to me. However I do admire your generosity of spirit

@taxpolblog @SoongJohnston No doubt it's lobbying. In fact, they're saying they are lobbying. And that's the point - they're open about it.
