"The Tax Foundation is a veteran anti-tax campaign organization from the United States. It has been around since 1937 when it was founded by top brass from companies such as Standard Oil and General Motors. Close links to some of the biggest corporations in the US has been a constant feature of the organization, as has its political aim of bringing down taxes"

Opaque US anti-tax foundation to advise EU Commission | Corporate Europe Observatory
A US think tank that recently opened a Brussels office to lobby for aggressively lower taxes is received with open arms by the Commission. But who is behind the organisation, and who funds it? The Transparency Register fails to reveal dark money flows – in the Tax Foundation’s case from US right-wing libertarian sources – and as such clearly needs a make-over.

Last year when I was setting up my 5G tank I got this plant. I thought it had died, but it had propagated a baby behind one of the big rocks in the tank. I moved it to my new 16G so it'd be more visible.
I think it's some sort of crypt because it doesn't have a rhizome and propagated via a long runner root, but I'd love to know _which_ crypt.
