Anybody can do that. Breaking up their monopoly would have a very positive effect on the economy, and we'd be far better off without them.

You must agree we'd be better off without the Koch bros and their fracking practices?

IN my view, their is no way to tax them 1 nickel and not have them pissed off.

They are at war with us and they have no mercy.
