With a dishonest, greedy and rich candidate like Hillary Clinton, are the liberals really in any position anymore to be criticizing the Koch brothers and their activities?

Thanks. Looking forward to the creatives way liberals will try to tell me it's different.

The unions contribute just as much as the Koch's, except to Democrats, you never hear a word about that. Also their rich guy, I cant think of his name, starts with a S.

Kochs made their money by bringing us products we need, in a competitive marketplace. Bill & Hill? Nasty rent-seeking politicians, scraping the bottom of the public trough and selling access to power. So yeah, our billionaires are better.

Hillary Clinton supports high worker wages, middle class tax cuts, small business tax cuts, and healthcare for all.

The Koch brothers oppose the above things.

Instead the Koch brothers (and their politicians) support CEO tax cuts, corporate tax cuts, and corporate deregulation.

Hillary and the Koch brothers are as different as night and day.

Either what we tell you goes in one ear and out the other, or you just plain dont listen when we respond to you.

NO one has a problem with anyone being rich, its how they spend that money, the causes they support, who they support.

Kind of like those on the right going after George Soros or even Michael Bloomberg(on guns).

The democrats billionaires like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are 100,000x better.

Gates and Buffet gave 1/2 of their wealth to charity. They have already saved 6 million childrens lives, and they are on their way to save another 8 million children from dying.
Bill Gates is better than Batman - 9GAG
Gates: $10B vaccine program could save 8.7M lives - CNN.com

Can Warren Buffett and Bill Gates save the world? - CSMonitor.com


Gates and Buffet (who have more money than they need) also want to raise billionaires tax rates to lower our deficits.
Bill Gates: Tax the Rich More to Help Reduce Deficit - Mic
Buffett Rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



But the conservative billionaires only desire things like abolishing the EPA and FDA so they can no longer regulate and fine their corporations.

LOL, yes all rich people are the same.

The Kochs make money spreading disinformation, destabilizing the climate, and polluting the environment.

There is no hypocrisy.
