Wry, what is your problem with the Koch brothers? Can you state it for us? IN YOUR OWN WORDS, plz.
They are Plutocrats. They believe America would be better off under an Oligarchy in which the wealthy made and enforced the rules. The abhor regulations and fear democracy.
The flaw in Plutocracy is this, by opposing Unions and collective bargaining, minimum wage, affordable health care and quality education for their kids, plutocrats are setting the table for a rise of the extreme left .
It's really not hard to understand, Camus said it well in The Rebel :
“The spirit of rebellion can only exist in a society where a theoretical equality conceals great factual inequalities. The problem of rebellion, therefore, has no meaning except within our own Western society.”
I love these academic terms like plutocracy that you learn and think you're smart and educated on an issue or politics in general.....
I love this answer. so because they want less government, less powerful government, less employees and more accountability instead of having 300 people to say I didn't know what they were doing, it's not my fault bullshit...you think they want an oligarchy
BUT you want a larger, more powerful government to control anything in the environment or health care (which is pretty much everything) and you don't think you're leaders are wanting an oligarchy? I mean you love Holder and Lerner as they act like they don't know anything and blame it on subordinates....and lets say they are right.....aren't you concerned that the leaders don't know what's going on?
Do you even think about what you are saying?
I do think about what I write, and what you and others do too. What you've created is a classic straw man, attributing to me what the propagandists have told you to believe; that's sad.
I was asked a question and I responded. That you could not refute my opinion and didn't even try is telling. Of course you didn't read the link in the OP (did you), thus you've missed the entire premise of this thread and the concerns I have for our democratic institutions.
