The Economic Policy Institute is heavily funded by labour unions who dominate the tax money receiving sector of the economy, and thus benefit from the public discrediting of economic theories that endorse the free market.

I hate to be confrontational but what's the point of your comment? Most organizations that publish content receive funding from a variety of places. The funding they receive is from donors that believe in their cause. It's not like the article is without supporting data.

It's not like this article is counter to the organization's obvious left-leaning interests [1].

Those sectors of the economy that receive tax dollars, most prominent among them the public sector.
