The Koch brothers are planning your future this weekend

[geauxtohell]

Washington (CNN) - This weekend, at a posh resort near Palm Springs, California, two billionaire corporate titans will convene a semi-annual meeting of a politically well-connected set. It will include wealthy donors and powerful Republicans, including House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.

At David and Charles Koch's meeting, attendees will discuss items like how best to promote free markets and how to help elect conservatives. Donors are expected to be asked to donate to conservative causes.

It will be conducted virtually in secret, with no press or public allowed and many attendees keeping event details on the hush.

That's fueled criticism that this gathering is a sort of secret cabal - a "Billionaires Caucus," critics say. Robert Reich, former Labor Secretary in the Clinton administration, even said that the Koch brothers' meeting represents "a threat to our democracy."

You might let/ask someone to plan your future Chrissy, but these guys have about as much to do with my life as you do, and please don't flatter yourself to presume that amounts to fuck all.

I wish I could be a fly on the wall there, retirement might be even better

Talk about tin-foil head crazy conspiracies and bad timing. The (anti-semitic) left alleges that the NY based philanthropists "Koch Brothers" are conspiring to take over the Country while crazy internet messages are promoting rallies in several major cities in support of the riots in Egypt.

They are from Kansas.

They are the right wing equivalent of George Soros (also Jewish). To call anyone who is concerned with the way the Koch Brothers are doing business "anti-semetic" is as absurd as those who do the same with the people that have a problem with Soros.

At any rate, I didn't realize they were Jewish.

If anything, this thread proves that the wingnuts LOVE to be led around. That's why the wingnuts are the only teabags that can be used over and over

well Chris says you Teabag him over and over....should you be included in that list too?....

The Federal Reserve and George Soros represent the greatest threat to our way of life, not these guys.

[whitehall]

Gee I wonder what horrors they are coming up with?

Will they finally unleash the Kraken?
Sick the Sith lords on us?
Unleash the hounds?

or

even more terrible

Try to conceive a way to expand their businesses to hire people on.

Oh the horror of it all!!!

Maybe they will build a new addition on a hospital. That would come as a shock to the socialists.

I am not referring to that case dummy.

They have long held that political contributions are examples of freedom of speech.

This is what I love about these message boards.

People see no problem with conspiracy theories about a liberal billionaire who spends millions on liberal causes.

But conservative billionaires who spend millions on conservative causes - they're fine.

I wonder who the virginal welfare babies name was that was sacrificed to the "Golden Craven Dalla Bill" idol was?

They only do this 13 times a year, so I figure it balances out.
