In reply to the discussion: Harry Reid says Kochs blocking Ukraine aid [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)25. Those elections are done state by state where Koch money buys GOP candidates. The only people
whose approval they seek is that of the Koch brothers. They all hope to be billionaires and untouchable by the time they leave office.
America buys the propaganda and vote for this to happen. Those who don't vote, give passive approval to what Teabaggers are doing for the Koches. It's a closed circle, otherwise called fascism.
Laws don't matter, they live for their position in a system of patronage from childhood up and through their entire lives. To them the government is just a competing business interest. They serve their patrons and not the public. It's an ancient system and why they hate all things democratic, because their reward comes from the ruling class in their worlds.
