Safe Mode: On
Charles Koch and his handlers

DemocracyNow.org - When conservative billionaire David Koch sat down as a
member of the New York delegation Thursday night on the floor of the
Republican National Convention, Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman
attempted to ask him one question: "Mr. Koch, do you think unchecked
concentration of wealth will undermine democracy?" While Koch started to
answer, the delegates and security around him stood up, one by one,
creating a human wall between them. One of those who stood up was Ed
Cox, chair of the Republican Party of New York and the son-in-law of
President Richard Nixon. Eventually, Goodman was asked to leave due to
"security issues" with keeping the walkway clear.

      Well I am still waiting for Koch's....er...I mean Romney's "plan".

      He, and Ryan really havent said their plan. All I've heard is "Less taxes for rich, less regulations on corporations, and more subsidies for uber-large corporations".

      Am I mistaken, or didnt we try that already?

      You havent heard Romney's plan because he doesnt have one.. He is simply running on the hope that the american people will vote for him to get rid of Obama. Not a good platform really. Romney will be a much more destructive pres. than Obama is.

  • Welcome to the New America where even the press is considered an enemy combatant. Maybe you better call Homeland Security, Koch. May want to have her put on the "no fly" list as a suspected terrorist. Then you can have her detained without a trial. Free country my arse. If your a true libertarian Koch then you should not fear speaking to a journalist. That was shameful. Quit playing in the bubble with the republicorps.

  • All those assholes cow-towing to his majesty, leader of the Corporatocracy.

    The real power is quietly sitting in the midst of the delegates while they await the puppet! LMAO

    That he can say we are all Americans is ludicrous.

  • .
    All the people on the thread trashing corporations are so clueless.

    Its tiring reminding these people that corporations created EVERYTHING they use all day long every day of every year.

    Corporations are responsible for giving them incredible quality of life.

    I will now block all of the tools on this thread from wasting my thoughts.

    Bye!

    • @Rousing Sermon: Not to mention creating the capital so that people can BORROW MONEY to start their own business or INVEST so someday they can RETIRE or their kids can attend college.

      Stupid commies want to kill the private sector and turn the USA into North Korea.

      Corporations are a result of collectivist ideology. While the individual is the result of natural law a corporation is a result of unjust laws backed by the collective force of groups of individuals who seek advantage over others, usually economic. The whole concept should be done away with or at least scaled back to manageable levels.

      The corollary to your point that "corporations created everything" is that there wouldn't be anything without corporations. Which is More..

    • @Rikki_Tikki_Tavi

      You appear to think all corporations are giant.

      Your punchline, not suprisingly, is: "profits are privatized and the liabilities of failure are socialized."

      Please describe how this occurs for me and 99.9% of the other corporations that fill the government coffers via taxes. We're known as small business.

      "it still allows corporations to evade the greater portion of their liabilities, leaving someone else to essentially take the risk and pay the tab." More..

      You're not just going to block everyone like you said? That means you're unreliable.

      "Please let me know how to get someone else"

      "Also please let me know how not to share"

      Your ignorance is not my problem.

      Hahaha I knew you were fake. Unwilling to support your opinions. Lying even in quoting me.

      No suprise to me.

      At least admit to yourself you have much to learn about how libtards poisoned your mind regarding corporations.

      Or walk the talk and stop using cars, telphones, computers, toasters, lawn mowers, most musical instruments, lighters, pencils, carpet, toothbrushes, pots and pans, most books, movies, most clothing, lumber products, etc, etc.

      Those evil corporations ma More..

  • If conservatives are so salivating to let Koch own them, so be it. They think this guy is on their side. Going to give them a job, make them all happy. So be it. Lets split the country, give all the conservative states to Koch. I mean, he is paying for it. Most of the biggest drags on the GDP are the states with conservative majorities.

    By all means Mr. Koch, please take your serfs in Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, etc.

    You can live in happy bliss polluting your serfs air, and water without a More..

    • @Drenigma

      actually they don't think he's going to give them a job or make them happy, thats the promise of the statist marxists running the DNC, the koch's are libertarians, they believe you make your own way in life and nobody owes you anything

      You obviously missed the sarcasm.

      Of course he's not. He is going to create jobs right? He's a "job creator" right?

      And then everyone is going to work hard for a decent wage, earn enough to retire, without a care in the world.

      Yeah, right.

    • @golem If he was a true liberatarian he wouldn't have feared the press and he would be backing Ron Paul not Mitt Romney.

    • @Anonyville

      Pauls not a libertarian, he's a anarc-capitalist/ neo-confederate loon. He infiltrated the libertarian party in the 80's in order to push his deranged world view, when that totally failed, he tried to do the same with the republican party, that's why he would never endorse somebody like Gary Johnson, a real libertarian

      What I find so funny is that all the diehard fringe conservatives on this site (and we all know who they are), were just falling over backward in love with Ron Paul less than a year ago.

      But when it became obvious how loony the Tea Party was (and now even they shy away from him....guess they still love his son), and how remote his chances were.......suddenly they all started sounding like you now.
