Koch Front Group Americans For Prosperity: ‘Take The Unions Out At The Knees’

In a speech earlier this month at the Conservative Political Action Committee’s annual conference, Americans For Prosperity-Michigan Executive Director Scott Hagerstrom revealed the true goal of his group and its allies like Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s (R) efforts. Speaking at CPAC’s “Panel for Labor Policy,” Hagerstrom said that AFP really wants to do is to “take the unions out at the knees”:

HAGERSTROM: It’s easy to go out there and fight taxes and increased regulation, you know we send out an action alert on taxes to AFP and we get thousands of people to respond. You send out one on a more complicated issue and it just doesn’t quite resonate…We fight these battles on taxes and regulation but really what we would like to see is to take the unions out at the knees so they don’t have the resources to fight these battles.

1. Drag the Kochs out by the hair of their head!

They are nothing but rich pieces of shit. They contribute nothing to society. They are a pox on society. They do not use their wealth for the betterment of mankind, but use it ot enrich themselves, even more. I would spit in their faces if I met them face to face, that's how much disdain I have for them.
