I just heard a quote from one of the Koch Brothers.

The discussion was about their long term goal of changing the political debate to one that is favorable to them and one of them was quoted as saying that they were going to continue this course of action until they stop breathing. Hmm, I wonder how many other people thought of the same solution as I did.

It is becoming obvious that this "course of action" is not exactly working out for them. I say keep it up.

We need to end the dynasties or nothing will change except the increasingly ruthless and desperate methods employed by the successors to hang on to all their stuff.

On Dad's and (more precisely) Grandad's money than muck with politics.

Let's hope they're traditional third-generation Richie Riches, i.e., useless drones dedicated to dispersing the family fortune to multifarious purveyors of fine yachts, houses, wine, and dope.
