However, they are billionaires and nothing is going to change that. Combating their influence is going to require a bit more than boycotting products their companies produce. Campaign finance laws must be changed. At this point, it appears to be a hard battle.

their gasoline is that by doing so, if in fact enough people made that choice to have any impact at all, is that the independent gasoline retailers would be hurt much more than Koch.
