Billionaire Koch Says Government Subsidies Are Evil, Won’t Return His Government Subsidies

Charles Koch has a new op-ed in Time where he discusses the plight of American workers – they are underpaid, there is no more upward mobility, and there is too much crony capitalism keeping them down. Koch is apparently immune to irony, as his company and the politicians that he supports are the ones keeping the situation so horrible for American workers.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

have you heard of the word VAT and tariffs: Here's a refresher, this is what you might say is destroying the U.S economy, this country has no VAT tax, we have a sales tax, which is manipulated for corporate cronies, like yourself and the Walton's GE, and whoever.

Now since your suppose to be a bright boy, please tell all of us why GM and a Communist government entity, that has state run unions are going to export there Buick Envision, to this country-----------------because the car is cheap-----------nope-----------because we have-------------- no-------------- VAT tax, let me repeat that,--------------- we have ------------------no ------------VAT tax on imported goods or that car.

So being the protectionist that I am for the American worker, and American UNIONS, don't you think Charles, may I call you Charlie, don't you think we should have a VAT tax on imported good, to have level playing field for starters to help protect our workers, its really not much to ask.

It's called manipulation by corporate cronyism, the product maybe cheap to build there, but we the public are being charged like it was made here--------------------amazing

So if you are that concern why don't you do the following ;..................................
