CORRECTIONS: A previous version of this article suggested that Democratic candidate Scott Wallace headed up the Wallace Global Fund when it gave millions to the Population Connection Action Fund. Wallace took over the fund in late 2003, after the fund donated to the group, as PolitiFact noted. That fact has been clarified below. The title of this piece has also been changed to clarify that Wallace has not publicly endorsed the taxation of those with more than two children.
