You didn't answer the question.

Doesn't it bother you the party you support has been bought & paid for by the globalists? And that the head of the Democrat Party openly socializes with them?
Trump is the head of the Democrat party? Do tell.

Does it bother you that the Republican party that you support has been bought and paid for by the globalists and the prison companies and big coal; big pharma and big oil?

I guess not.

I have to laugh whenever someone brings up the Koch Brothers in response to any discussion on Soros.

Here is a partial list of organizations the Koch Brothers have funded. There is another list of universities not included below:

Below is a list of some of the present or past recipients of funding from one or more of these foundations:
American Legislative Exchange Council (received a loan of $500,000 in 1996)[4]
Cato Institute
Citizens for a Sound Economy Foundation
George Mason University
George Mason University Foundation, Inc.
Heritage Foundation
Institute for Justice
Foundation for Research on Economics and the Environment
Reason Foundation
Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies
Institute for Humane Studies
Pacific Research Institute for Public Policy
Washington Legal Foundation
Capital Research Center
Competitive Enterprise Institute
Ethics and Public Policy Center, Inc.
National Center for Policy Analysis
Citizens for Congressional Reform Foundation
Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, Inc.
Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty
Political Economy Research Center, Inc.
Media Institute
National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship
University of Chicago
Defenders of Property Rights
University of Kansas Endowment Assocation
Texas Public Policy Foundation
Center for Individual Rights
Heartland Institute
Texas Justice Foundation
Institute for Policy Innovation
Center of the American Experiment
Atlas Economic Research Foundation
Young America's Foundation
Henry Hazlitt Foundation
Atlantic Legal Foundation
National Taxpayers Union Foundation
Families Against Mandatory Minimums
Philanthropy Roundtable
Free Enterprise Institute
John Locke Foundation
Hudson Institute, Inc.
Alexis de Tocqueville Institution
National Environmental Policy Institute
Washington University
Pacific Legal Foundation
American Council for Capital Formation
Institute for Political Economy
State Policy Network
Fraser Institute
Mackinac Center
Institute for Research on the Economics of Taxation
Institute for Objectivist Studies
Americans for Prosperity Bill of Rights Institute
Mercatus Center
Whitman College





Now take a look at the organizations funded by George Soros. Too many to list, so you'll have to scroll through them here:


Organizations Funded by George Soros and His Open Society Foundations - Discover the Networks




But let me copy and paste what some of the groups do:


All of Us or None: This organization seeks to change voting laws -- which vary from state to state -- so as to allow ex-inmates, parolees, and even current inmates to cast their ballots in political elections.


America's Voice: This open-borders group seeks to promote “comprehensive” immigration reform that includes a robust agenda in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens.


American Bar Association Commission on Immigration Policy: This organization "opposes laws that require employers and persons providing education, health care, or other social services to verify citizenship or immigration status."


American Civil Liberties Union: This group opposes virtually all post-9/11 national security measures enacted by the U.S. government. It supports open borders, has rushed to the defense of suspected terrorists and their abettors, and appointed former New Left terrorist Bernardine Dohrn to its Advisory Board.


American Friends Service Committee: This group views the United States as the principal cause of human suffering around the world. As such, it favors America's unilateral disarmament, the dissolution of American borders, amnesty for illegal aliens, the abolition of the death penalty, and the repeal of the Patriot Act.


The American Prospect, Inc.: This corporation trains and mentors young leftwing journalists, and organizes strategy meetings for leftist leaders.


Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now: This group conducts voter mobilization drives on behalf of leftist Democrats. These initiatives have been notoriously marred by fraud and corruption.


Bend The Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice: This organization condemns Voter ID laws as barriers that “make it harder for communities of color, women, first-time voters, the elderly, and the poor to cast their vote.”




The list just goes on and on and on.



Nobody has more influence in America than George Soros. Nobody. We saw that in the wikileaks. He's a big contributor and they emailed one another saying they wanted to keep him happy.


When it comes to Soros who is left of the left, and the Koch Brothers, there is NO contest.

If the above upset Warren enough, there is nothing stopping him from writing a check to the U.S. Treasury each year to effectively level the rate he pays with that of his secretary, nor anything stopping him from trying to influence fellow billionaires to voluntarily do the same.

Within the last month or so I watched a recent filmed interview of Michael Bloomberg at his HQ. In that interview, he said that everyone who has been successfully treated for cancer in the U.S. Northeast over the last so many years (can't remember the number) owes a debt of gratitude to the Koch brothers because of the huge sums they have donated to this fight.

Soros is actually the FOX news boogieman. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have been put out to pasture for now.

Deny deceive deflect, so typical of progressopuke demoslobs. If you can't stay on topic or address the issue at hand just change the subject. How Saul Alinsky of you. If you want to dump on the Koch Brothers or Republicans try starting your own thread.

Where ya been the last eight years?


The Tea Party movement came to life because there were no good guys.


The choices were always between a corrupt Republican political ***** and a corrupt Democratic political *****, so we took over the Republican primary process.


You remember...or at least you should because your side was laughing at the people the Tea Party organizations were running against career politicians.


A lot of them lost, but some made it through.


Those that did became the Tea Party caucus.


Hell, we even had a convention.


Well, the movement more or less disbanded during Obama's second term; it wasn't really needed any longer.


The working Americans that first spilled out into the public parks in 2009 to demand a end to our effectual enslavement to the 0.1% and the runaway government that pimps us out to them, drove Democrats from office at every level of government.


We then turned our attention to Republicans.


The election of Donald Trump signaled our victory over the GOP establishment.


We are now rooting out the Republican corporate whores that remain.


The Koch brothers hated Trump.


They wanted a real political ***** like Jeb Bush, but they got Trump instead.


Working Americans are done taking **** from the recipient class, the various aggrieved classes and the donor class.
