Oh joy. The Kochs are starting 2 more ALECs

[Triana]

From Teamster Nation on March 3rd, 2013

We learn from National Public Radio that the Koch brothers are doubling down in their campaign to destroy the American middle class:

In this political off-season, two new Koch groups are ramping up.

The Association for American Innovation is set up as a business league. There are indications it will promote free-market bills in state legislatures, much as the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) does now.

American Commitment, another social welfare group, aims to carve out a messaging niche in between think tanks like the Cato Institute, where Koch allies sit on the board, and front-line groups like AFP.

1. And Yet Americans Passively Celebrate Such Oligarchs

eom

2. Dedicated Fascists with money are the enemy in this country

and they should be viewed and treated as such. These asswipes got rich in this country and now they want to ensure that they don't allow the average American a comfortable life. It's the fascists' way.

3. They took advantage of people to get rich.

4. And continue to receive billions in Federal grants, tax loopholes, and tax-free incomes.

But they are the privileged and we are the slaves. That's how they see us. That's how they regard us. And thus, they are my enemy.

I take solace in the fact that there are more of us than there are of them. If only we can educate the average Republican voter who'll never see a million dollars in his lifetime to stop voting Republican whose policies are keeping them just outside the door of the poorhouse. But I'm afraid we're going to have to rely on the Latino, Hispanic, and Asian vote to save this country. They're not mired in Jim Crow-style laws, or as they call them, "the good ol' days".

6. I am from the South and there are people there, still today, who love to talk about the

plantation days.They long for the the days when white people made the rules and actual slaves did their bidding. Today we are slaves to a system of fascist corporate control.

7. "Today we are slaves to a system of fascist corporate control"

That's the truth.

5. Why aren't they in prison yet?? They are committing treason and getting away with it!!!
