Don't kid yourself: The Koch Brothers are running the US Government [View all]

Everything Benedict Donald, Moscow Mitch, and Eddie Munster Ryan have done or have attempted to do domestically is straight out of the Koch manifesto:

* Gut the EPA
* Trillions in tax cuts for corporations, thus the 1%
* Destroy Obamacare; and ultimately Medicare/Medicaid
* Defund Social Security
* Drill anywhere there maybe a drop if oil: Build more pipelines
* Try to make the press the enemy of the people
