Koch Brothers, are they so bad?
No, they are not bad. What they fight for in politics is bad. Everyone has a free market philosophy. They have a free market fundamentalist philosophy. In other words, the free market can do no wrong. It can. Even economists like Hayek believed some government action was necessary at times and he advocated for universal health care.
Why are the Koch brothers so hated?
They try to buy elections, and dismantle the idea of government by the people, glorifying government by the billionaires. The are unAmerican in their attempts to take government away from the people, and to buy it for themselves. Elect Hillary and we can stop this by overturning the Citizen's United Decision. @fine_sine: Why do the conservative judges honor the citizens united decision and only the liberal judges have sought to keep $ out of politics. That decision went on party lines. with all 5 conservative judges defending unlimited and anonymous $ in politics, and all 4 liberal judges voted against it.
He is as much a villain as anyone else. The reason he is not portrayed that way, is the majority of the media is in favor of his influencing the election for Democrats.Most Democrats are honest and honorable people, and accept that their candidate lost the latest Presidential election. However, the pro Democrat media has done all they can to stir up the lunatic fringe of the party, and that is why you see people attacking those who wear caps supporting the current President. While you saw the fringe of the Republicans speaking out and denying the eligibility of President Obama, you did not see wide spread attacks on people with Obama stickers on their bumpers or other signs of support for that President. The media hatred of President Trump is emboldening those unstable people.You do have to understand, that being a villain, as is Soros, is not the same as being a criminal. George Soros has every right to spend his money on whatever cause he sees fit, just as the Kock brothers had the same rights in previous elections.One man’s villain is another man’s hero.
I thought the tea party was grass roots? Why are the koch brothers hosting a millionaire retreat at the Ritz?
youthful Turks can really live on on severe 1/2-truths. Their arguments are embarrassing...for them. so a thoughts because the Tea events are worried, it certainly all started as a grass-roots flow. notwithstanding, no longer something continues to be that way, those who do understand a thanks to regulate, will come into play. at the same time as they do, they ask for donations. I easily have little question that the Koch's contributed plenty to those communities. it truly is very diverse that "being created" through the Koch brothers. This subtlety is lost on human beings like Cenk Uygur who really understand a thanks to react to topics, no longer imagine about nor understand them.
Is Scott Walker a mere puppet of the billionaire Koch Brothers of Wisconsin?
No, Walker is an American. Obama is a democrat: 1/11/44, democrat FDR’s Address to Congress: “We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights...” His new “rights” list included: -The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation -The right of every family to a decent home -The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health -The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment. Decades before FDR came out of the closet with his socialism another democrat president, Woodrow Wilson almost did, saying: “You are not here merely to make a living. You are here to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, and with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world. You impoverish yourself if you forget this errand.” Wilson may have been the first socialist to realize the potential of multiculturalism in deconstructing America, saying: “No nation is fit to sit in judgment upon any other nation.” And today the democrats can trumpet their successes: -2/4/10 Gallup poll: 61% of liberals have a positive view of socialism. -6/2/11 Gallup poll: 71% of democrats favor re-distributing wealth. -They finally got national health care (Obamacare), the hallmark of all socialist nations. “Know thine enemy”
