[paulitician]

The Koch Brothers aren't any worse than the Left's sugar daddy George Soros. The Koch Brothers are providing an important counter-weight to Soros. The Republicans needed this counter-weight. Soros is loaded and completely owns the Democratic Party. Btw,he's also a criminal. So the Left demonizing the Koch Brothers is a sham. I think it's time for them to go "occupy" Soros' front yard.

George Soros does pretty good. And he also owns the Democratic Party. So why all the Left outrage over the Koch Brothers? I think it's smart for the Republicans to counter Soros' power and control. And if you hate the Koch Brothers,you should really hate George Soros. If you dont,you're very likely a dishonest hypocrite.

He's a corporate criminal. And the Koch Brothers are a counter to his control over the Democratic Party. You guys give up Soros' cash and the Republicans will give up the Koch Brothers cash. Deal?

. . . and we have already wasted over $500 million with solyndra, choosing ideology on green jobs over basic common sense. When a previous investigation informs the administration its a bad investment but you burn taxpayer dollars anyways, not just once but with THREE different clean energy companies that ALL just happen to later face bankruptcy, it's time to cut Obama's government credit card. Sorry Lakhota, we need a businessman like Cain who has more "intelligence" than to do something like this.

George Sorros gives his wealth to political and activisism agencies and organizations.

The Koch brothers gives their wealth to charities.
The David H. Koch Foundation has funded cancer research and a number of arts and science organizations, including the American Ballet Theater, New York City Ballet, Lincoln Center, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the American Museum of Natural History.

red C. and Mary R. Koch Foundation grants are awarded primarily to charitable organizations as defined in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The foundation focuses its giving in the following areas:

* Arts/Arts Education: Artistic endeavors and educational ventures that stimulate interest in the performing and visual arts.
* Environmental Stewardship: Science-based environmental education and market-based efforts to improve the environment.
* Human Services: Programs and organizations that promote dignity and respect to propel others toward success.
* Enablement of At-Risk Youth: Mentoring and education programs that advance a culture of individual freedom, responsibility and Principled Entrepreneurship™.

Really? If you keep with the typical leftie loonie POV, his 35% ownership in Brazilian Oil company Petrobras says otherwise.

 

[Wry Catcher]

I suggest those of you who are using George Soros to excuse the actions of the Koch Brothers do a little homework. Mr Soros has actually worked for a living as opposed to the Koch boy's who were given their wealth. Mr. Soros saw totalitarianism first hand, the Koch Brothers were taught to hate communism in their father's living room.

I have no idea. Do you? Why is that an isssue as the rules changed in 201; see CU v. FEC for reference.

Actually, anyone who stands against communism and supports individual liberty has my vote!

By the way, did Teresa Heinz actually work for her wealth? I didn't see any complaints from anyone on the left about where and how she got HER millions, when John Kerry ran for President.

So, people born into wealth, if this is true because I haven't bothered to look yet, are fair game to discriminate against?

Soros so Fascism, Totalitarianism and antisemitism first hand, while hiding from being killed by the same. Unfortunately, he acted so well to be complicit in part of it, he became what he beheld.

How is this better than learning to hate those who hate your very way of life?

Since socialism is an inferior cultural and economic choice, why should anyone adopt it? Only 150 years of evidence show this to be the case.

ahhh the weasels way out, so now the greedy slimy bottom feeders on wall street are cool, if you think you can make a disagreeable comparison with any business man of a large corp.?

So, you compare Soros , who is a money fund manager, which even among the "Street" are sorta seen as, extra slimy, BUT, its OK because the Koch bros. got left a co. , which they then built up a global conglomerate by orders of magnitude btw, (and didn't attempt to crash currencies along the way) etc. have created, manufactured and marketed products we all use along the way and actually employs 60,000 people at once, and have in the past employed hundreds of thousands , probably millions over the years and they are the scum bags? While the money changer?? What was his big contribution to society?

So, if you had to choose, who do you see as a more positive influence to/for the common good and who in the end would you rather take advice from or help guide policy etc ….?
