Ha, Stossel always nails it.
Lots of people sure hate the Koch brothers.
The Kochs get death threats like this: “If I had a chance to murder a Koch brother in cold blood, I would surely take it.”
Jim Dean doesn’t want to kill the Kochs, but he does want new laws to limit their influence. Dean’s brother Howard was a Democratic presidential candidate, and Dean chairs a group called Democracy for America.
“Get money out of politics,” Dean says on my show this week.
But Dean’s not just unhappy because the Kochs have money to throw around. He doesn’t like their politics.
“The Koch brothers are poster boys for everything that is wrong in politics because they spend so much,” he says, and they have extreme goals like “getting rid of Social Security and environmental laws.”
But they don’t. They just think today’s environmental laws go too far, and they want to save Social Security from going broke.
Dean says Social Security “has been one of the best social programs we’ve ever had.” When I point out that it’s unsustainable, he says, “The math works for another 20 years.” Wow. 20 years.
If the Kochs’ views were the same as George Soros’, I don’t think liberals like Dean would complain as much. But Dean claims he’s no hypocrite...
