Charles Koch Hits Back Against 'Un-American' Attacks:

"Rather than try to understand my vision for a free society or accurately report the facts about Koch Industries, our critics would have you believe we're "un-American" and trying to "rig the system," that we're against "environmental protection" or eager to "end workplace safety standards," he continued.

The billionaire businessman argued he has no need or patience for political favors, touting his corporation's environmental and jobs record.

"Far from trying to rig the system, I have spent decades opposing cronyism and all political favors, including mandates, subsidies and protective tariffs—even when we benefit from them," Koch wrote. "I believe that cronyism is nothing more than welfare for the rich and powerful, and should be abolished."

Rupert Murdoch purchased the WSJ and someone found themselves left behind, deep in the bowels of media hell. Somehow, they've retained their wicked sense of humor.

Too bad they don't have those types of Republicans anymore. They're all lackeys of the captains of that invisible government President T. Roosevelt warned us about.
