Americans for Prosperity (of billionaires) has gotten involved in the Missouri Senate race. Americans for Prosperity is a Koch organization who has launched a 1.8 million dollar ad campaign to punish Claire McCaskill for her vote against the 14% tax cut for corporations back in January.



https://www.kansascity.com/news/loca...199751929.html


The attack ad says “Families are saving more for what matters. Missouri pride is back,”. Middle class Americans know what a struggle it has been to make ends meet. Savings have become a luxury item in the family budget.



These libertarian Koch brothers want to dominate the Republican party and their policies. They don't want to cut unnecessary red tape for business. They want to cut the regulations that make them financially responsible for any of their actions, or actions of their subordinates. That's not cutting red tape.



McCaskill did the right thing back in January. The tax cuts designed to help the middle class go away in 2025. The 14% tax cuts for the wealthy are permanent and will someday cause competition between Medicare, Social Security and items in the Republican agenda.



McCaskill needs your support. She has stood up to the Koch brother agenda. I admire her courage.

It sucks but they are not alone.

At least the Kochs actually create wealth unlike many billionaires.

Koch Brothers are looking out for themselves, as they have been anti-Trump on trades and tariffs. They are not concerned about Republicans in particular.

I will await the Soros thread from you on how billionaire money subverts the middle class.

Dark Money the book identifies a half dozen billionaires who are actively funding corporate causes.

You all keep throwing George Soros at me on the liberal side. Are there more, or does he act alone?

Read "Dark Money".
Does Koch Industries have a gas line running near your house.

Are there attorney's saying it would cost more to maintain the pipes than pay off the lawsuits from neglecting them?
from Dark Money page 129

How can it be "dark money" if we know who is supplying it?

You mean you don't already know? You haven't done your research? I'm shocked.

Michael Bloomberg, Warren Buffett, Pierre Omidyar, Tom Steyer and George Soros’s own son, Jonathan come to mind.

the hypocrisy of this post is just mind boggling.


McCaskill is a super rich and is flying around on her private million dollar plane while pretending she is touring her state in a bus!


Beyond that Liberal Billionaires Tom Steyer is spending north of 30 MILLION Dollars on these mid term elections alone.


https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/08/bill...-midterms.html


George Soros has committed billions to elect liberals all over the country. His Open Society funded Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE) which PAID OUTSIDERS TO go to Ferguson MO and protest!


when the protesters didn't get paid, they got mad!
