All Ayn Rand did was to put another face on naked greed and power mongering. Since the Koch bros. and others want a business Libertarian paradise. Let the lesser people, us, languish under authoritarian theocracy while they get all they want and then some. Not a good deal for us. Going backwards to the 1600’s (socially) while they have the fruits of the 21st century and our slave labor in the near future.

Excellent, excellent post!!!

Very Bad Man the least you can do is try to refute what was in the video—-oh you can’t. So you attack the messenger. The all of us are at the mercy of their class warfare that you seem oblivious to. That also means that if you aren’t a millionaire or billionaire they will stomp all over you to.

It is what is called being a “useful idiot,” someone paid or not to attack their own class and cut their own throat.

I see the Koch brothers have a taste for Italian architecture.

Benito Mussolini would approve.

reynolds: “i hate the koch brothers for their freedoms.

Aha! According to my CIA Decoder Ring and Profiler Manual, you must be a Muzlim Terrist!!

We got yer number jocko.

Greenwald is genius for finding the symbol of corporate greed and excess.  It gives people a specific target for venting frustrations.  The Koch’s can’t crawl into their hole of secrecy anymore.  Anything BraveNewFoundation does to make the Koch’s lives even a little bit difficult is worth it.

It is the left’s answer to the Welfare Queen of Reagan days, except the Koch’s are really exist.

I can answer the question stated in the headline: Because they are rich, they believe God favors them.  Once you believe that, it’s a pretty short step to thinking your bodily excretions are odorless and that the rest of humanity is made of less worthy stuff than yourself.

i hate the koch brothers for their freedoms.

Really this is a nice post.

The Kochs are merely the tip of the iceberg folks - the visible tip at that. Consider how many billionaires live in the USA today.

Consider the simple fact that they are nearly all doing exactly what the Koch brothers are doing, although they’re probably not all doing it so well.

Are they doing this because they’re Un-American??

No. They mostly very, very American.

They’re doing this because they can, legally, get away with robbing the poor, elderly and ill using any and all methods they can think of. In fact the law helps them do it.

Nothing is illegal for the extremely wealthy now.

The problem is not the Koch brothers.

They’re merely a symptom.

If you had their money and realized you could not be punished for any crime you might commit, you’d probably be doing the very same thing they are.

The problem is American Law.

Its been changed by the lawyers, politicians, bankers and corporate CEOs over the last 30 years, specifically to allow the extremely wealthy to profit unfettered by any and every means at their disposal, legally.

The law protects the wealthy from punishment for their crimes - and that is all it protects now.

You have no recourse to air grievances because your federal government is also composed of billioniares who want to be trillionaires and millionaires who want to be billioniares.

They will do nothing to prevent the wholesale daylight robbery of the American public and the American Treasury for fun and profit because they’re busy robbing the American public and its treasury for fun and profit too.

If the Koch Brothers are doing this much harm in broad daylight, just imagine the harm being caused by truly evil dynasties like the Bush Family and the Cheney Family, behind the scenes.

How to fight back??

Every community in the USA, regardless of size, should start their own time-based, usury-free, community currency as soon as possible and stop using federal dollars altogether.

That’ll get their attention…
