Board, which had dictatorial powers over American<br />

industrialists, and Chairman <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Price Fixing<br />

Committee <strong>of</strong> WIB. An original trustee <strong>of</strong> Carnegie<br />

Endowment for International Peace, Brookings set up <strong>the</strong><br />

Brookings Graduate School <strong>of</strong> Economics, which merged<br />

with <strong>the</strong> Institute <strong>of</strong> Government Research and <strong>the</strong><br />

Institute <strong>of</strong> Economics in 1927 to form <strong>the</strong> present<br />

Brookings Institution.<br />

It is listed as "not a membership organization", whose<br />

goal is "to set national priorities", in short, to make<br />

government policy, which it does. It rode into power with<br />

Roosevelt's New Deal, hardly a surprising development,<br />

since its incorporator, Frederic A. Delano, was FDR's<br />

uncle. The present chairman, Robert V. Roosa, was<br />

preceded in that <strong>of</strong>fice by C. Douglas Dillon. It has<br />

always been <strong>the</strong> forum <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world's most powerful<br />

financiers.<br />

In 1984, Brookings Institution originated a new program<br />

for <strong>the</strong> government, written by a team <strong>of</strong> 10 economists<br />

headed by Alice Rivlin, former director Congressional<br />

Budget Office. Rivlin proposed that <strong>the</strong> in<strong>com</strong>e tax be<br />

replaced or augmented by a consumption tax laid upon<br />

all consumption, bequests and gifts. In short, <strong>the</strong><br />

traditionally leftwing Brookings Institution hopes to enact<br />

into law <strong>the</strong> illegal IRS technique <strong>of</strong> "<strong>com</strong>posite net<br />

worth", laying an in<strong>com</strong>e tax on citizens by estimating<br />

what <strong>the</strong>y spend or consume, a "cash flow" tax as<br />

inescapable as <strong>the</strong> Rockefeller-Ruml withholding tax.
