Why do Liberals Fear The Koch Brothers, And Conservatives Fear George Soros? (lobbyists, how much)

[knowledgeiskey]

Those guys don't even come close to having influence in Washington to the big guys in Washington, so why do people fear them?

[Winter_Sucks]

I don't fear either. I just don't think all their money should influence politics.

Unlike the Kochs, Soros is higher up on the global power structure. He's up there with Zbigniew Brzezinski and Kissinger. The Kochs are not

Why do liberal use the word "fear" so much? Projection perhaps?

Uh, right. They just sit on their billions and have no influence whatsoever.

How much money is either of them worth? That may be important considering how many money laundering organizations Soros has.

If knowledge is key why are you ignoring the fact that these people have MONEY, which IS influence? The fear is that these people affect what happens to the rest of us and we don't like being dictated to. These people pull the puppet strings of our politicians and are worthy of careful scrutiny.

The Koch brothers donate small percentages compared to most special interests and lobbyists.

soros funds the SEC watchdogs so they don't watch much.

The Koch Bros. have more than Soros and Buffet combined.

I started watching that family when I finally realized who paid for the stuff I was reading that had me convinced Lucille Ball was a Communist.

They are so far under the radar, we will never know what they are funding. You only know what they want you to know about them.

You cannot go shopping without buying something their companies make.
