Happy new fear

Billionaires 'r' us:

  • Apparently the Koch Brothers don't need the republican party--they're building their own.  With over 1200 employees and 107 offices nationally, the Kochs are trying to emulate the NRA, one of the most successful political organizations in our lifetime.  They're also emulating terrorist groups by preying on the poor with giveaways and proselytizing--here's a free turkey, ignore the man behind the curtain trying to kill the minimum wage and destroy unions.
  • Sheldon Adelson, on the other hand, is buying newspapers (Las Vegas Review-Journal) and using his employees to write puff pieces that support his agenda and passing them off as "Investigative Journalism."  Because what the republican base needs is one more faux media outlet pandering to its fears.
Keep in mind that between them, the Kochs and Adelson intend to spend over a billion dollars in the 2016 elections not to improve America or the lives of its citizens, but merely to further line their already massively deep pockets.

How much better do you suppose they can eat?

Peace,
