19 Republicans and ONE Democrat-Getting their marching orders?

Makers and shakers at a exclusive American Enterprise Institute’s annual World Forum, Along with the forementioned political group of very selective policymakers we have:

"Billionaires present included Philip Anschutz (whose reported net worth is over $10 billion), President and CEO of Chick-fil-A Dan Cathy, former chairman of the Molson Coors Brewing Company Pete Coors, executive chairman of Hyatt Hotels Thomas Pritzker and co-founder of the Carlyle Group Dan D’Aniello.

There were also a number of tech executives, including Apple CEO Tim Cook, Google co-founder Larry Page, Napster creator and Facebook investor Sean Parker and Tesla Motors and SpaceX honcho Elon Musk.

Some media personalities in attendance were radio host Hugh Hewitt, Wall Street Journal editorial page editor Paul Gigot, The Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol, National Review editor Rich Lowry, Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan and New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger."

Now, I wonder what they talked, discussed and came to agreements on?

We really are screwed if we don't fight back. I see a hunger games type of society if they get even more control.

in organization. The Koch's have really organized the wealthiest individuals in this country into a third and most powerful third party. Those that hold President Obama accountable for not delivering just don't understand the gravity of the situation IMO.
