Their powerful and malignant influence on Congress should be brought to an end, and the sooner the better. Those two, and other billionaire plutocrats like them, are among the greatest dangers our nation faces. Their political power must be curbed, or the freedoms of the American people will soon be at an end, replaced by a plutocracy by, of and for only the very rich. The proposed IRS changes would be a good first step on the path to bringing about those needed curbs on such super wealthy and powerful individuals.

Screw a bunch of aid to some coup-installed, "technocrat"-led government made up of fascists, conservative nationalists and IMF lackeys. Pass the legislation to control the Koch brothers' nonprofits, Senators Reid, Durbin, and Schumer. The last thing our country needs is to take on yet another dysfunctional client State. Our record in successful "Nation Building" hasn't been all that good lately anyway.
