How are the Koch Brothers ruining our Republic?
When the 400 richest people own more wealth than 50% of all Americans that threatens our democracy. This causes these multi millionaires and billionaires to spend money lobbying the government to make laws that benefit them. These laws don't benefit us, and we are the ones our politicians are supposed to be working for, not the 400 richest people.
The point is, this country is now being run by the rich instead of by the elected members of our government. And that's what ruins a democracy.

Some of the 98% pushing back against the Koch Brothers and the top 2% who are ruining our democracy.
So, you believe that an Oligarchy is the best way to go, Avatar. And that is just one step from Fascism. Is that your prefered form of government? Do you really believe that the 400 richest people have actually 'earned' their wealth?

No. I believe a Republic is the best way to go. And you've provided no evidence that the Koch Brothers are an enemy to the Republic.
So in other words, you dont like them because they made money. And thus we should somehow hate them.

The multimillionaires and billionaires are running this country.
They are pulling the strings of the elected politicians by lobbying them to legislate in the interests of the rich, instead of the interests of the PEOPLE.
I've already explained this to you. Am I wasting my time? Are you ignoring my posts and just asking the same thing over and over for a reason?
We elected people to make laws to better our society. I don't know about you, but I'm getting pretty angry at the government which isn't handling our hard earned taxes properly and putting our country into such a mess that they are talking about ending medicare.
The people we elected are giving our money to the rich and fucking us over. Bush's medicare part d for example, all deficit spending, ended medicare's ability to buy drugs at wholesale prices and now they buy all the medicare medications at retail. This benefits the pharmaceutical companies and hurts WE THE PEOPLE.
There are so many examples of this, how about the oil subsidies giveaway? The Big Oil companies are being given our tax dollars while they charge us $4 a gallon at the pump and make record breaking profits. Our elected leaders voted to keep giving them subsidies. Only 2 Republicans voted to end the oil subsidies. They filibustered the bill so it needed 60 votes to pass.
How many examples do you need?
So in other words, you dont like them because they made money. And thus we should somehow hate them.
I said nothing of the sort.
We the people have a vote. But the 400 richest Americans who own more wealth than HALF of all Americans put together, are running this country instead of the people we've elected.
They are able to do this because they've been controlling the legislation for a few decades now which has been making it easier and easier for them to do. Our government is using our tax dollars to make the rich even richer.
Are you getting this or is it still not easy for you to understand what I'm saying?
