The Club for Growth, a radical rightwing, anti-tax group funded primarily by billionaires is one of the biggest backers of Republican lawmakers who sought to overturn the US election results; it supported the campaigns of 42 of the rightwing GOP members of Congress who voted last week to challenge US election results, doling out an estimated $20m in 2018 and 2020, according to data from Center for Responsive Politics. It poured millions into campaigns to help elect Ted Cruz & Josh Hawley & others who took a stand against facts, a fair election, and the U.S. Constitution. About 30 of the Republican hardliners received more than $100,000 in indirect and direct support from the The Club for Growth wants low taxes. Why should the uber-rich expect to pay more in taxes, after all they hate social programs and anything that enables the federal government to protect the general welfare.
