As I suspected all along. The fight in Washington is not between 99% of American's and the politicians, but between .5% and themselves.


I would like to see utilities and other necessities no longer privatized because it allows corrupt crooks like this to enrich themselves at the expense to the many.


I don't think government is the answer however, because the government can be bought and paid for as we have now and were back to square one.


A non profit organization under constant public review would be the better alternative.

They don't care about what you want, Mr./Ms. Tea Party. You're just a pawn in their game.
Wait, do you even know why Koch was involved? Why were they involved with Obama? Presidents are selected not elected. They rallied for Romney first, then changed their minds, giving more funds to Obama to ensure a win for presidency.

Same as with hijacking, to, pay attention, make it look bad, an idea of the Tea Party, into a party abused by NeoCons.

Libertarians and Independents know A LOT more about Koch Brothers than what you self professed Liberals and Conservatives spout off. Yet you try to school us? Come on.

I'm sure this will fall on def ears, because the bandwagon runs strong when it is scared. Can only hijack ... ruin so much.
