Never fails.
That's not to say that apathy and low voter turnout across the board isn't a disgrace imo. Australia, I understand, has mandatory participation.

And the Kochs: they are not the "classical" conservatives. They just inherited their daddy's vast fortune and are using the money to manipulate governments across America.

The Koch Brothers have requested and taken $10's of Millions in tax breaks, basically taking money right out of our pockets. It's kind of like uber libertarian Ayn Rand, who railed against government control and talked about the uprising of the 1 percenters who are the new "downtrodden" class. In her dying years, used a fraudulent name through her attorney to obtain government medicaid for medical treatment. Yes, Ayn Rand took government handouts and Atlas shrugged.

These people are getting so tired and old with their hypocritical principles they espouse (and fund through political campaigns). They're just bad people, right to the rotten core.

You sure hit the nail on the head when it comes to Ayn Rand. The last thing she practiced in her own life was objectivism. She was one of the most selfish people to ever walk the planet.
