In 1967, after Fred Koch died, of a heart attack, Charles renamed the business Koch Industries, in honor of his father. Fred Koch’s will made his sons extraordinarily wealthy. David Koch joked about his good fortune in a 2003 speech to alumni at Deerfield, where, after pledging twenty-five million dollars, he was made the school’s sole “lifetime trustee.” He said, “You might ask: How does David Koch happen to have the wealth to be so generous? Well, let me tell you a story. It all started when I was a little boy. One day, my father gave me an apple. I soon sold it for five dollars and bought two apples and sold them for ten. Then I bought four apples and sold them for twenty. Well, this went on day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, until my father died and left me three hundred million dollars!”
You can't save people who spitefully refuse to save themselves. If the majority of our nation's sadistic, aggressively ignorant, hate-crazed population choose to elect Republicans to nuke the middle class, then there's really not a whole lot that the relative handful of sane, decent people can do about it. THAT'S DUHMOCKRASEE!
Kinda like the Bush's helping Hitler in the 1930's.
Aren't conservatives so fucking patriotic?!?!?!?
Where are the bonfires?
