Must Read: What Richest Americans Are After

Koch-Supporting Texas Billionaires Explain What Richest Americans Are After
They complain and complain, but can't recognize themselves in the mirror.
By Steven Rosenfeld / AlterNet

This is rich. Some of the wealthiest Texans who attended the Koch brothers’ political donor conference last month—where participants set a goal of raising $889 million for the 2016 elections—are saying that all the Kochs really want is to end “special interests” influence in Washington.

“We attended that meeting — and we have an answer,” wrote Doug and Holly Deason of Dallas, in a Dallas Morning News column co-signed by eight other wealthy Texans. “We want Washington to do what it hasn’t done for years: work for, not against, the American people.”

Um, nice try. But if you are as wealthy and powerful as some of these Koch attendees, you are not exactly representative of the American people, whose median income was $51,939 in 2013, according to the U.S. Census.

Does anyone need more evidence that the 1% is living in a bubble?

ha ha... it's just natures way of telling us in a song... ha ha. I guess the real plunderer's of the people are those who want to regulate what goes into the air and water. The big push from the 1% these days is raising the interest rates so as to protect us all from inflation. Always mixed message coming from these people who already control far too much. Leverage is a funny thing to them especially when it comes so cheaply.

Peace!
