NOTE: Richard W. Graber, the new President and Chief Executive Officer of the $850 million hate machine, the Bradley Foundation, is a former vice president of global relations for Honeywell. The Milwaukee-based Bradley Foundation is one of the biggest right-wing racist “think tanks” in the world funding and grooming the Scott Walker administration to attack unions and is behind numerous other attacks on poor and working people including so-called “school choice,” “welfare reform,” de-funding Planned Parenthood and attacking LGBTQ rights. Bradley funded the authors of “The Bell Curve…” a racist eugenics book that claims Black people are genetically inferior to whites. Bradley ideologues and their servants like Scott Walker frequently use terms such as “flexibility” and “reforms” which really means union-busting, pension stealing, de-regulation, eviscerating safety laws, less money for education and other people’s needs among other vicious austerity.
