Yeah, point taken Mario. I know nothing about the org, nor do I subscribe to their political views. But the data presented in their maps (i.e. tax on gas for each state, income tax rates if any, etc), provides nice "at your fingertips" data that is hard to "skew" from any political agenda (real numbers).

Of course -- Everyone has an opinion. A similar Google/Bing search of "LHBA", "Log Home Builders Association", or even "Skip Ellsworth", results in similar Criticism and Praise.
