1. Breaking the government permanently.

This is what there goal has ever been.

13. Add breaking the world economy to your position.

I strongly believe that a world economic crisis is the Koch Brothers' ultimate goal.

Remember that old saying: When there's blood in the streets, buy property.

In a crisis, lots of people will panic and start selling off assets. The K bros will get some major bargain basement deals if that happens. And the hapless teabagrepublicans are too stupid to understand that they're just pitiful pawns.

I sincerely hope I'm wrong about this, but I don't think I am.

2. Other: "Federal Gov't, meet Bath tub".

What they don't realize is that their little exercise in 'anarchy' is actually going to reinforce to the American folk that Federal Gov't really IS necessary.

[JoePhilly]

12. Yes, and yes.

[GoCubsGo]

14. Also..

...in doing so, they want to sell off the country's assets (federal lands, buildings, etc.) at fire sale prices. And, guess who will buy it all up...yep, the very people who are funding these assholes (Koch Bros., etc.)

3. and take away our so-called entitlements

meaning the money we paid into Social Security and Medicaid.

[el_bryanto]

4. To Defeat the Democrats

I think that's the main thing - I admit that's a nebulous and hard to define goal, but I really think that is it.

8. wWelcome to DU

[Wounded Bear]

10. If that was truly their goal....They would have done this to Bush.

Spending isn't "out of control." The Tea Party is.

[LiberalLoner]

6. Other: create a situation where a lot of Americans die and

The ones that live are willing slaves to the Kochs, unable to fight back against oligarchy.

[Xyzse]

7. I don't think they even know.

They just want Obama out of office.

[Tikki]

9. Trying to keep a truly needed government backed program from taking hold..

Then they will shoot back that we have never really needed any government
programs except for the ones that benefit the 1%.

They use the term Socialism..but it really means they back their rich
donors and they are the repugs only concern.

Remember rmoney's speech and his crowd all laughed about the middle class and poor and agreed with him.
