Repugs want to do away with any and all controls on the 1%, one tiny bit at a time so it's not that noticeable to most. Until your child is killed by salmonella, or your family dies in a car crash due to faulty tires that the company knew about and didn't report, or something along those lines, you'd never know that the rich can cause conditions which hurt/kill others with impunity. Of course the Kochs want this. They are so busy polluting, they don't want to be held responsible when people die.
