Quote from the AdTI site.
In 1994, part of the Clinton administration's health plan proposed an increase in cigarette sales tax from 24 a packet to 99 a packet. Merrick Carey, then president of the AdTI, put a plan to Philip Morris whereby, for $30,000 a month, the Institution would conduct a campaign for them. The AdTI presented itself as a "bipartisan" economic think tank presenting an analysis of the Clinton plan, nowhere mentioning they were directly hired by Philip Morris to oppose the tax increase.
Put in italic and bold for the relevant section to stand out. In my own opinion what this company looks like and pertains to be, and especialy when you look at the above quote is a company who sells out to whoever gives them the most money. They almost freely admit to being paid pitbulls for whoever it is that needs a campaign fighting that they do not agree with. It's like one company paying another to cause libel. Not right!
