An article in the latest issue of The New Yorker Magazine by Jane Mayer profiles billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, two of the richest men in America who have quietly given more than a hundred million dollars to right-wing causes. Mayer writes, "The [Koch] brothers have funded opposition campaigns against so many Obama Administration policies--from health-care reform to the economic-stimulus program--that, in political circles, their ideological network is known as the Kochtopus."

JiggaJonsonSo the right wing's agenda strongly favors business and they after getting huge lumps of cash funneled into their political ideas by big business as a result? Who could have predicted that those regulations were there to protect individual rights?

Don't look at me he claimed it. I didn't know it was true or not I do know that some people claim to be libertarians and not believe in Global Warming. Like certain radio personalities. The problem is translating traditional European Libertarianism with new American Libertarianism...they're different and strange.
lwisays...Charles Koch looks just like an older Stephen Colbert.
MonkeySpanksays...You have a good point! I agree!
