that kind of power. They already run all three branches of government due to their campaign contributions and own the media, so it is better late than never I guess to do something about it!

Go Bernie!

for putting things in terms that all Americans can understand: money - dollars and cents. Imagine one family having more political power and influence on our system of government than either of our two political parties - or even more than both of them put together. The Waltons of Walmart may be richer than the Kochs, but they're not as dangerous because they're not as politically active as the Kochs. America may be changing its name to Kochtopia!

The Kocks work so hard at choking the middle class to economic ruin. I just don't get it, really. WTF do they think passing all this dipshit legislation does to their own consumer base?
It makes me shudder to think about an unsuspecting public bombarded with all manner of distorted polly tickle ads just before the next election cycle. But perhaps they'll actually try to prop someone up there like Rmoney again who will provide us with gaffes, laughs and his patent insincerity.
I know it will involve getting the word out, especially to the youth vote to ignore the noises vomiting up from the teeveeeeeeeee.
