Koch Funded or Founded Institutions/Policy Centers

Yes we are! My phone is not an extension of my hands and I forget to charge it and my kids tease me that it takes forever for me to text. I like it like that….call me old fashioned, but I’d rather actually speak to people..double edged sword, technology.Either way, I hope that the app gets used and the info gets passed around. Don’t want my money going toward fueling the Koch Bros….every little bit helps

The Koch Brothers – Industries and Businesses Owned

Nice job. It’s why they call them Kochtopus!

You really need to click on the map to see all the players in this charade. Take special notice of a group called “Citizens for a Sound Economy”…..Koch Bros. Founded 1984.

They are nothing more than RWNJ’s masquerading as typical “free market” Republicans. Thought you might like to read this…from another AWESOME blog.

http://thepoliticalpragmatic.blogspot.com/2012/08/if-obama-is-socialist-republicans-are.html

From this piece:

A fascist is one whose lust for money and/or power is combined with an intense intolerance toward those of other races, parties, classes, religions, cultures, regions or nations as to make him ruthless in his use of deceit to attain his ends.

They poison the channels of public information and use the news to deceive the public. Fascists put money and power ahead of human beings, engaging in the systematic looting of the middle class for the benefit of corporations and the rich; in the same way tax cuts extract from the national treasury and redistributes the wealth of the nation to those who are already wealthy. The Republicans not only fight to continue this standard, but proudly promotes a budget that seeks to perpetuate a path to the poorhouse for millions of Americans.

I think that about covers the Koch’s.

Thank you so much, AdLib! Nice to be able to comment here. Anxious to see this Koch series and discuss:)

Thank you for the welcome:) I have come here before, just never left a comment. Came over from TOD and I think that you’ll find other “new friends” that come over for this series on the Koch Bros. Disgusting creatures. I’ll let the TOD folks know that Tues(tomorrow) will be the first installment.
Glad that I could include the link to the documentary that you hadn’t seen yet…hope that helps you out with your info gathering.

So glad that you’re doing this. Not enough can be said about these takers! I hope that you also include the fact that they are working on buying up the print media (Tribune papers)to pass their deceit around to the public. I have passed this link on to others and look forward to seeing your write up on this. Thanks bunches.
One more thing…this documentary ( that I’m sure you’ve watched) is important for all to see. Here is the trailer for others to watch.

Chained CPI – Grand Betrayal, Social Security Fix, or Something Else?

I thought those segments that Lawrence did on her were so great. I had never known this before. So glad that you enjoyed them.

Amen, sister:) He’s fabulous. I’ve doused quite a few hair on fire types just from reading TPV and Deaniac (Spandan).I feel the same way you do.

Don’t know if you’ve seen these clips, but well worth the watch.

Also, this same site has some excellent, thought out pieces on chained CPI…
