(23,061 posts)31. BINGO - they want us to fail.
They know that all the money given to them and other 1%ers stays with them and doesn't help the country's economy - they know this as well as you and I. However, they LIE and LIE BIG constantly because they want more money and don't care about the working class other than to keep them penniless. Every time increasing the wealth of the workers is tried, the economy booms. Every time taxes are cut for the rich, the economy goes into the doldrums because governments cut services for the working class who don't have as much spendable income which depresses business. KOCHS DON'T CARE about anyone anywhere! They only want to steal our government so they can get richer and unfortunately Repugs go along to get a cut of that pie.
