It's always good to see a corporate bully get popped right in the snout by those it's bullying – and what bully is more deserving of a comeuppance that Koch Industries?

This $100 billion-a-year conglomerate routinely runs roughshod over everything from the environment to worker rights. Likewise, the two Koch brothers who run it are narcissistic right-wing extremists who feel entitled to throw their multibillion-dollar fortunes at America's historic democratic structures, hoping to knock them down and erect their own corporate plutocracy over our democracy.

I can't argue with that!
I have always been bothered with rich people being in office because they can't represent me the way I need to be represented. How can they when they can't relate to my needs.

It is unfortunate that most politicians are wealthy. Many go into office without wealth, but when their political career is over they are wealthy. Makes you wonder who they are representing. Truth is they only represent theyselves, we are a second thought to them, so they pander for our vote and then for the next 2, 4 or 6 years you don't hear a lot from them
''How can they when they can't relate to my need'' Power, they can't. In their insular world of everything being paid for them, how can they know what the price of gas is, or medical insurance. The simply answer is that they can't.

narcissistic right-wing extremists who feel entitled to throw their multibillion-dollar fortunes at America's historic democratic structures
I am tired of all the whining and crying about the "America's 'sacred' historic democratic structures". It is exactly these 'structures' that have brought us to this place.
The devalued dollar,
the high unemployment,
the even higher welfare roles,
the deferred prosecutions of corporate funders of drug lords,
the outta sight costs of food, fuel,
the growing anarchy of our citizens (the world citizens-another story),
the demise of our Justice System with SCOTUS being bought or otherwise influenced,
our Presidents rendered ineffectual either by self or poor guidance,...
The list goes on, The Koch Brothers are the tip of the iceberg. They or any other personality who is a sole conglomerate are the face of our destruction.
