Koch brothers seek to 'jolt' tax reform debate

The political network of the conservative brothers Charles and David Koch on Thursday launched a multi-million dollar push to “jolt” the debate on tax reform.

“Now is the time,” network spokesman James Davis told The Associated Press. “We’ve got to unite around those principles. The White House hopefully will see this as a jolt to support them in driving this forward.”

Davis said the network’s campaign would run through the summer.

The network’s leading organizations, Americans for Prosperity and Freedom Partners, on Thursday also released a set of general preferences for an overhaul of the tax code, which included lowering business tax rates, cutting taxes on investments and eliminating the estate tax, among other things.

republicans and their beloved Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, Comrade Casino. demand more more more breaks for themselves. Their message for the poor, sick and elderly: eat shit and die.
