Just because a politician solicits bribes does not excuse anyone paying those bribes. Both are illegal.

Koch brothers face an unexpected new foe: tea party conservatives*-*Los Angeles Times

For the first time, I have a reason to like the Tea Party.

Koch brothers and big utilities campaign to unplug solar power*-*Los Angeles Times
Liberals would force everyone to buy solar panels then tax it

If you don't have solar panels it won't effect you.

No, conservatives aren't, as long as it benefits them. Especially, wealthy conservatives.

This has already started! They're requiring some sub-divisions to put in water meters, even if they're not being hooked-up yet to record water use. Nothing like the TAXMAN!

If this money actually helped maintain roads and such, it wouldn't be so bad to pay. Potholes in my area were beginning to look like sinkholes.
