KOCH Says NO To Sandy Relief: -Victims Need To "suck it up and be responsible"

it's only a matter of time before somebody comes after them.

(I don't condone violence. I'm just stating the obvious.)

ex-military types working security for them, but it won't somebody from trying. They're screwing with way too many people at this point.

like 30-life in prison

I'm only one little person.

Is there a list somewhere?

I have started but now I'm going all out...I choose not to put any of my money in their pockets voluntarily

just like Papa Johns and Olive Garden have taken a hit, it's time for the full force of consumers to make their displeasure known with their bullying tactics

I've heard there is an 'app' you can put on your phone but haven't found it.

Besides not buying what products I can avoid
I think I would be waiting to find out where they live...out of curiosity.

diversified. Not a big surprise. Not at all unlike the Andrew Carnegies or John Rockefellers at the turn of the last century. No, two people should control that much of the country's natural resources, industry, and collective wealth (if you begin factoring in jobs, real estate, etc.)

We need a trust buster.

and a step towards re-localizing and reinvesting in America. Of course a new start-up company couldn't hope to compete with Koch when it comes to economies of scale. But at this point, simply the fact that they are the "un-Koch" would be a major selling point for any would-be competitors.

Are there any alternative suppliers for these products? I assume the Georgia-Pacific/Koch Brothers brands are the most widely available at Home Depot and other big box-type stores.

Whenever we think about boycotts, we tend to think in terms of household products--at least I do. But building materials probably represent an even bigger market share for these greedy bastards. What I'm wondering though is COULD a contractor boycott Koch Bros drywall even if he wanted to? What source could he use instead, and where could he find it?

There is going to be a whole lot of drywall needed for Hurricane Sandy rebuilding projects. A whole lot of plywood, and pretty much everything else on that list. It would be true justice if not one square inch of it were made by Koch Bros. But is that even possible?

I doubt any of the owners or contractors even think about it, or even know the Koch brothers are demanding to have no help sent to them. I am sure there are other US manufacturers , just not China as their drywall is very bad.

and yet he probably has a ton of Koch products in his garage and uses them at every job site, either because he doesn't think about it or because no alternatives are available. At this point he may not have a choice, but then that's the definition of "monopoly."

They are hateful and disgusting. I mean, this was a hurricane, that made landfall in an area that doesn't usually get them. In any case, no one is ever 100% prepared for anything.

Fucking rich out of touch assholes.

And just simply don't give a fuck making them complete assholes..

YOYOs for the rest of us.

You are
On
Your
Own

worth more than $10 million.

I'm not sure what you meant by your post, but No, they aren't responsible for the storm.

They are, however, responsible for their "fuck-nuttery", and for the statement they released regarding the aid for those recovering from the worst northeast storm in any of our lifetimes.

I'm quite sure that had an earthquake or other natural disaster hit the off-shore bank where they keep their money, and scattered it to the ends of the earth, they'd be the first in line demanding the "gubmint" help them get it back.

Napoleon may have been an asshole, but he did get something right; "Religion is what keeps the poor from eating the rich"

They're not responsible for the storm, but their statement alone is enough for me to support a 90% tax on inheritance.

I guess they don't have a contract to supply paper products to the hotels on the Jersey shore, because if they did, they'd be the first in line to get their "gubmint" money.

The Kochs are nothings who inherited everything they have.

However, I'm guessing Warren thinks you should give all your money to the church (his), not the gubmit.

Are there no workhouses?

This is the second time in a row I've used that smilie to reply to an OP. The other was in reply to an OP about cops in TX arresting Santa for giving out chalk to kids.

People cannot be blamed for laziness and failure when it's a damn hurricane. Just shows they don't want to give a penny to anyone else ever.

Koch or the asshats in Congress who are going to obey him. A pox on them all. Time to find a way to make the whole lot of them as poor as the poor folk they are screwing over.

pay to put a full page ad in every newspaper in the NY/NJ area so all voters see it. Diagusting people saying disgusting things.

the Koch's are "your people"!

What say you?

directly on their properties in Wichita, and only their properties. I don't wish for anyone to be killed, but I do wish they'd lose everything. And then be told, Suck it up.

Hurricane relief for blue states in the Northeast: BAD.

I get it.

would be to send a message to those same Senator's and tell them if they vote with Koch then they are out of a job!
We the people control the electorate.

votes. If they vote for anything pro Koch or NRA we keep tabs and vote against them when they run again and we spread the word to low information family and friends?

and drop off the face of the Earth. Maybe we'll be lucky and they will both want to go on that ride to the moon....and not come back.

Is long gone. compassion is now a bad word in con circles.

Is it against TOS to wish the 'wish bone' gets stuck in some throats tomorrow? Because truthfully - I'm extremely cold and without one iota of human pity or empathy for these fools.

is for the rich. poor people and victims, eat shit.
they are hateful.

I hope this riles Christie enough to give this plenty of interesting media exposure.

Yeah, suck it up sucker.

It is no wonder that a family that controls so much of what makes things work, have also determined that they have the privilege of deciding our nation's social policy.

It is logical, and to them righteous, even if Americans don't acknowledge that. We have granted capitalism and property unbridled rights to stand above human rights and the environment for years. We 'built this.'

Until this is remedied, we will have no peace or human rights. They own almost everything and are unafraid to show their true faces now. Why should they ashamed, when they consider this country to their property?

Wanna know how to make billionaires' heads explode? Force the Kochroaches to sell their holdings to the Feds for a proverbial song. Then put the business to public use.

Not just media, but the way we live. Suburban or not, we are in a society that is vertically organized, not horizontally. Our livelihoods come not from neighbors or our community as we once did in rural life. We get our religion and philosophies from impersonal groups that are corrupted by the rich and powerful.

We are entertained, not by our local piano or guitar player but a commerical medium that requires repetition to make the money it does. It appears we are addicted to a lot of stuff that keeps our minds busy enough to not stand still and look at the big picture.

When I read statements like take their stuff, jail them, try them for war crimes, off wth their heads and national strike, those are solutions of th past. They came from much closer knit communities with long-standing roots in the local church, school, grange, or place of employment. We are like claymation figures being molded into what the rich want us to be and shifted around.

Families are separated by distance, unable to share living space or expenses as they once did, many of them in the search for jobs. Each job lost means a world that is lost, each move means prosperity lost for many. They are not able to help each other, instead have to pay commercial firms. We have been hollowed out not only manufacturing wise, but socially.

There are those who, like the young people at the DNC, the twins Julian and his brother were able to overcome dislocation and poverty due to the social safety net of school, food stamps, help going to college. We're working to restore that egalitarian sense of society but are being opposed to a different mindset many Democrats choose to ignore, but still exists. Am I saying it is hopeless?

No, but as author Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said, All things must change to something new, to something strange.

Many of us, as Kahlil Gibran said, What is this world that is hastening me toward I know not what, viewing me with contempt?

Or as Charles Sanders Pierce said, If man were immortal he could be perfectly sure of seeing the day when every thing in which he had trusted should betray his trust, and, in short, of coming eventually to hopeless misery. He would break down, at last, as every good fortune, as every dynasty, as every civilization does. In place of this we have death.

We are approaching a clash of unbelievable proportions if we don't accept the reality of where the power lies, forgiving each other as we move along to protect the things most valuable. Those are our goals and we work toward them with old and broken down as well yet uninvented tools.

Peace Out.

I mean, surely the Koch Bros. don't want their Chevron feeding irresponsibly at the public trough, right?

Are some hybridized version of the Grinch and Scrooge with some other demonic entity all wrapped up into the ugliest of humankind.

They may not be human...

Their dad invented the John Birch Society so they've been steeped in this dung all their lives.

Perhaps all their industries should be nationalized, just a thought.

Frederick R. Koch (born 1933), collector and philanthropist
Charles G. Koch (born 1935), Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Koch Industries
David H. Koch (born 1940), Executive Vice President of Koch Industries
William Koch (born 1940), businessman, sailor, and collector

hadn't heard of the fourth one.

Aid to any Red states for any reason.

Funny thing.

Let's have Congress reinstate the tax rates of the 1950's.

If so much capital was not tied up into Wall Street, they would have found it harder to make their money, so for them to leave the NYC area in ruins means that they are rejecting one of the main tools they used to get rich.

Then again, not many families have the honor of having helped out both Josef Stalin and Adolph Hitler rise to power.

are taking out revenge on them for supporting President Obama.

This needs to go VIRAL

But they want all the advanatges of being New Yorkers, without paying for them. They are existing as parasites on New York, using it as an imperial seat of power.

This really does need to be VIRAL.

I thought of the "revenge" because of who they are. Vindictive goplutocrats who will punish anyone who opposes fascism.

I hope this comes back to bite them in their Climate Change Denial ass. People who aren't able to get their Devastation from Freak Storms, rebuilt.. will be even more inclined to remember evidence of Global Climate Change.

You know they make a fortune off the government, aka my tax dollars.

If you're buying Koch products, you're wrong.

bills to the Kochroach brothers.

Of course, it's easy to say when you've got more money than you could possibly spend.
