Scott Brown Pleads For David Koch's Money

Did anyone else notice Koch’s constant lip-licking and teeth grinding?nHe’s either on speed of one kind or another or his false teeth are giving him considerable discomfort. I used to work with speed addicts and this facial stuff was par for the course.

Since when is making money in America, unAmerican? If the Koch brothers took the risk to build their fortune (while others simply intend to peck away at the success and risk-taking of them, or others), how unAmerican is that?nnI don’t read anywhere in the Constitution that redistribution of others’ wealth is something upon which our country was founded. However, if someone can point to this, please reply. But, remember please, no insults, no derogatory comments, just facts. I’m polite, too :)

Making money in America is a good thing! David Koch ran for president in 1980; his platform was to abolish the minimum wage and social security. The Koch brothers stole over $25,000,000 in oil from Native American tribes. This is the kind of “making money” that is unamerican. The Koch brothers are one of the top 10 air polluters in the U.S., they are responsible for over 300 oil spills, they payed the Mercartus Center to convince the public that smog prevents skin cancer, they have given huge donations to destroy the U.S. public education system, they funded Citizens for the Environment which calls acid rain a “myth” but has no actual citizen members except billionaire chemical salesmen (themselves). The Koch public relations department (and yes, they have one) is payed heartily to convince you and I to ignore the facts. Please consider defending Americans from their bully tactics. All men are created equal; the middle class should also have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.,..something the Koch’s have actively denied many of us.

It’s not hard to make a lot of money if you inherit 300 million from your daddy after he puts you a private college and gives you a job.nWhere in the Constitution does it establish that the United States is to be a capitalist country? “We the People…” is in there, but nothing about free markets or supply and demand.

Hi EJ,nnThe fact that the Koch brothers INHERITED money, that means their ancestors made good decisions. Since when is taking care of your own children unAmerican?nnFact is, to the founding fathers, the condition of a market-based, capitalist forum was taken as a given, as this was the economic condition of the time. The Constitution spells out the LEGAL tenet of our country, upon which property rights, personal INDIVIDUAL rights, and public rights have their foundation.nnLet’s not be so cynical. Try to understand our American identity since its inception, versus it’s near-historical precedents only. I bet this will prove useful.

You notice the way Koch interrupted the Senator from Massachusetts in mid-sentence like he owned the guy? No, “excuse me, Senator..”, nada, as if Scott was just one of his many lackeys.nnAnd the lip-licking teeth-grinding thing, fricken guy is WIERD! Yuck.

Brilliant, there are a lot of things not in the Constitution but back in the day we used to laugh at the “banana republics” where 1% of the population owned, like, 45% of all the wealth. It wasn’t so much about distributing wealth, it was just….sad.nWell, today, in America, 1% of the population owns 45% of the wealth. WE are a banana republic now …of course, there is nothing in the Constitution that says we can’t be, either. So what???????????/nnnn

Look at the dollar bill, the pyramid. You got the small one at the top with the all-seeing eye separated from the body… and then the bulk of it below. Looks like America these days. I’d like to see ONE pyramid united with the all-seeing eye in the middle…the middle class.

Brilliant you need to go back to school and reread information on the founding fathers. They believed that the creation of powerful Dynasty and corporations was bad for the average working person. In those days the idea of only letting a company exist for 30 years was acceptable way to stop them from damaging this republic. Also if you are going to act like such a expert on the constitution than you should have already known that when it was drafted corporations were called artificial people and were listed as such in documentation so the constitution give no rights to any corrupt company. The constitution is for we the people.

I thought he was supposed to be working for the people of MASSACHUSETTS?!! Or is he actually working for the ultra-rich?nWhat do you think?

You cannot just invoke “the founding fathers said” unless they actually said what you are claiming. Otherwise it is called a lie. Economy wasn’t a concern to the founding fathers, but protection of citizens from the economy was.
