*1) I do not make over 250,000$ a year
**2) I am not a corporate polluter trying to dodge federal indictments
*1a) Therefore, my income taxes have not been raised
**2b) Whereas, the most regulation my property gets is by county residential zoning ordinances/property tax appraiser
Again, Koch Brothers political agenda is for Koch Industries, not me. If I was an uber-rich oil/chemical polluter, then I would join "Tea" Party.
PLEASE try for once to stay on the subject, this has nothing to do with how much money you make or your taxes.
This is about the hypocrisy behind you being ok with Soros funding liberal causes to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars but you openly attack the Koch brothers for doing the exact same thing. Why do you do this?
Instead of joining the Tea Party you've joined the Wall Street, Labor Union, Special Interest money party.
Aren't they funding your "grass roots" tea party?
Think there might be an agenda involved?
Doesn't George Soros fund Open Society, Acorn, Media Matters, Center for American Progress, Move on dot org, DNC, etc... . Think their might be an agenda involved?

how do you feel about soros owning 2 million shares of halliburton?
in what way does that support your agenda?
Maybe we should call it the party of War and Death since Soros makes millions on Halliburton stock then sends it to Moveon.org so they can protest the wars that Halliburton makes billions of dollars on.

and thus the leftist circle of silliness is complete
I want ALL of these people prevented from funding politics except in limited amounts as individuals. Having the Koch Bros fund the right wing is the same a Soros funding the left. Both violate the concept of "one person, one vote" by replacing it with "one dollar, one vote". This is inimical to a Democratic (concept, not party) Republic.

Greg I agree with you but at what point do you run into a dilemma because these men (Soros, Koch bros) could technically be donating their own money to political causes just you any of us could do... they just happen to have millions of dollars to throw around. I think individual donors should be limited as far as how much they can donate but without closing loop holes we'll never stop any of it.
