Koch Brothers vs George Soros?

[kentuck]

I was listening to the incoherent Joe Scarborough this morning when I turned on the TV. "What is the difference in David Koch - who donates to the Lincoln Center and other charitable organizations - giving money to political causes and George Soros giving money to political causes," Joe asked?

Well, there is a difference.

Koch brothers donate to people and organizations that hurt our environment, that dislike unions, that dislike public school teachers, that dislike any increase in the minimum wage, that hate "Obamacare", that want to see even more wealth go to the top 1%, as our middle class continues to shrink.

That's the difference, Joe.

1. That he even asked

Proves he is "intellectually challenged" so I guess we can thank him for that affirmation...

2. Was he talking about Harry Reid calling Koch Bros "UnAmerican"?

I heard that also.

3. George Soros runs the Open Society Foundation

which works closely with the NED to "promote democracy overseas" (ie. financially assist opposition movements against foreign governments that are not friendly to US corporate interests).

So the only difference I see between Soros and the Koch brothers is that Soros wants to make foreign governments more subservient to corporations while the Koch brothers want to make the US government more subservient to corporations.

5. But they also support politicians and causes in this country...

that are almost always against the interests of the majority of this country. Harry Reid was correct. They are unAmerican. By their works, ye shall know them.
