Don't kid yourself: The Koch Brothers are running the US Government

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

7. They did Hitler one better

they took over the U.S. without firing a shot. Their organization is bigger and more effective than the Republican party.

And yet, the complicit corporate media barely mentions their name.

On the contrary, their crackpot radical extremist ideas get free rein and are presented as legitimate policy without sufficient discussion of their origin, selfish aims, or destructive effect on the nation.

They have used money to undo democracy.

9. Remember

the Koch family originally got its money from setting up oil refineries in Russia. Their ties to the Russian money go deep and in the US becomes entangled in the John Birch Society, whose design upon the US policies are not only elitist and religiously authoritarian, but racist and sexist, from its inception. This is a family that appears to feel entitled to rule and supplant democracy with neofascism.
