The Evil Empire…………..In all its foul excrement…The Koch Bros..
The Koch Brothers (pronounced Coke) ARE the enemy. Boycott ALL their
products. Out all the organizations and people they fund. Fight for a
democratic society.
In case you need a reminder of just how smarmy the #kochbrothers really
are…

should you happen to care about education, environment, health, labor
rights, campaign finance.. etc..
Who funded this?
Oh, you hate the Tea Party too, huh? Something tells me you would have
hated the first Tea Party also, no?
Sorry, I know nothing of the Koch brothers but some of these items in this
video are extremely ridiculous.
Its been pilfered how many times ? There is no loss of wealth , but rather
a redirection , guess where ?
This is why money needs to be removed from our political system in the US.

Watch this for an education:
then it will all be the more amazing when i achieve that greatness.
This person…Muhammed Smith…is a barrel of laughs right?
well its not every person in the 1% to go after, its the crony capitalist
who you want to go after, there called the globalist, the New World Order
elite who want to bring a one world government, centralized banking, one
law of the world where the government is set up as a communist socialist
government and where everyone is enslaved to work for them, its the one
things conservatives fear most and it is already happening because of
Obama, and our last three presidents that we had
Ignorance and mental retardation have NOTHING in common. The mentally
retarded possess a marked or observed deficit in learning capacity. The
ignorant(you) maintain a willingness to proceed WITHOUT knowing. You
possess the makings of a legitimate subject. Pick up a book and read it.
And not a DAY too soon.
Next move for you…damage control. A warning my friend.
Thank you!!!
I am a product of my decisions not my circumstances. why u hatin?
read the definition of “ignorant” lacking knowledge or uneducated. those
with mental retardation might be incapable of becoming educated or
knowledgeable therefore there ignorant.
what is your interpretation of an ordinary person?
fuck social democratic countries.
how is it i amuse u?
damage control on what?
Why are these weirdos getting away with this ?
Saying Fuck socialist countries is the same as saying fuck: quality of
life, social upward mobility, happiness index, standard of living, stress
ranking, employment rate, wealth equality and ect… Stalinist/Moaist
societies are democratic socialist, im not on about them. They are
dictatorship. How about you move to libertarian utopia Somalia?
Film a bunch of unsuccessful people who made bad decisions and blame it on
two successful businessmen.
1. why cap the ceo to average employee pay ratio? if you don’t like that
they get paid more than you get you than you don’t have to work for them.
2. why maximum wage for executives? these guys are successful. they should
get paid like it. #3 in your list i won’t contest for now. 4.tax the rich
more? if your going to do income tax it should be an equal % o what you
make regardless of how much you make. aka no tax brackets. 5. price control
really? if an item is to expensive for u don’t buy it.
#6 on your list i won’t contest for now. 7. nationalize all natural
resources. do you mean to steal land from farmers and people that own oil
reserves and so on? #8 on your list i won’t contest for now. i would
describe Somalia as semi-anarchy mixed with sharia law with transitional
democracy starting to come about.
Meant to say “not” democratic socialist. Nationalize all natural resources
only.
Norway nationalized their oil and all citizens benefited from the
nationalization.
Anyway, I let you have the opportunity to contest all 8 on the list then
I’ll see how to respond.
I don’t necessarily disagree with all 8 on your list.
Muhammed Smith. You have the right to breath just like you have right to
public services. You don’t steal public property and call it yours to own
when it really belonging to each and every citizen living there. Mining
interests, corrupt politicians, resources thieves are leeching off our
country. The equal right of all men to resources is clear as their equal
right to breathe the air. Unless you’re the God who created these resources
like Gate create Microsoft then you no claim of ownership.
you lost me when I saw the nice digs and accoutrements like computers,
granite countertops the food stamp user, social security recipient lived
with.
Its not the 1% thats at fault, its the government in Washington that makes
the rules and gets in bed with the crony capitalism folks. There were many
rich people before in our country, from JP Morgan who worked with Thomas
Edison to Rockafeller, yet we became the worlds richest country. Instead of
blaming bankers and these Wall Street types, blame those who bailed them
out why dont you. In a true capitalism those who make mistakes fail, not
prosper and thanks to politicians they are doing that.
I for one would like to say I am not envious of the Koch brothers. Besides
not wishing to have a billion dollars — a few million would be nice but
not a billion, thank you — (unless I could use the money to actually
improve society) they gained much of their money by screwing over the rest
of us. No thank you! I would not want their karma. I can’t imagine such
evil spoiled babies with that much money and power going out of their way
to ruin the lives of poor black kids, the elderly, struggling single
mothers. Despicable!
OMG are you kidding me? @ 8:36 Why is she on food stamps? Look at her
kitchen!! Good thing you get $16 a month. People in other countries are
literally starving to death and we’re complaining about how hungry we are.
But I thought we had an obesity epidemic?!
Every sovereign nation in the world has the ABSOLUTE right to issue its own
debt-free and interest-free money based on that nation’s credit and wealth.
This money would be issued through its treasury and not its central bank –
the latter being a criminal debt-creating enterprise set up by the banking
dynasties that creates money completely out of thin air (fractional reserve
lending) and then charges interest on this nothingness. Check out the
UK Bradbury Pound and the US Greenback Dollar. The global elite (Koch
family included) account not for 1% but 0.0000000000001% of the world’s
population…….but they control the world’s money supply. So what are
YOU going to do about it?
Why shouldn’t the retirement age be higher? Ppl live way linger than they
did in 1930
Under the Obama administration Walmart, FOXNEWS, and the Koch brothers made
more money than they ever had.
Capitalism is one epic failed system of gigantic proportion as communism
was, capitalism is only just maybe slightly better than communism but
still a quasi functioning system that failed us and it breeds nepotism,
cronyism, corruption, favoritism, monopolistic suppression and subjugation.
Holy fuck man, this idea of private property ownership is a flaw concept
that has been exploited by the radical idealistic fanatics. This created a
whole class of unwanted, unneeded, valueless, worthless, bunch of ownership
class that rigged the monopolistic system of capitalism and oppress/deprive
99% of its citizens. Talk about evil privileges inheriting that allow the
sinister heirs to continue the looting, ravaging, raiding, destroying our
country. Rich leeches infestation is bleeding and killing our nation.
Pointless and damaging idea of property inheriting system is what is so
wrong about our democracy. Nationalize all our oil mines and industries
like Norway/Iran/Malaysia did. It benefits us all. We need a new system, a
third alternative: SOCIAL DEMOCRACY.
Libertarians are bunch of clowns. Ayan Rand used the welfare system in her
dying days, Ron Paul are using the welfare system now as we speak, Koch
brothers taking corporate welfare subsidies, Paul Ryan used the system
during his college days, Red states welfare recipients are taking money
from the government too possibly more than blue states. Christian
conservatives are even more pathetic, they claimed to love Jesus, against
abortion and appose gay rights but when their beloved capitalism was
criticized by the pope, these loose cannon God loving Republicans all went
ballistic. I did not know they can cherry pick which rules to follow and
which to oppose/ignore in the bible.
It sickens me to se the true greed selfishness and soullessness of the Koch
Brothers.
This is such a blatant hit piece. The Kochs have the right to fund
conservative foundations just as the Ford, Carnegie and other foundations
work for a socialist state. This is the stated goal of the Ford foundation,
listen to interview with congressional investigator Norman Dodd on youtube.
All of these elite sickos are trying to engineer our society to their
taste. Some are socialist, some fascist but the thing they all agree on is
keeping power (money) in the hands of a few. They see the alternative as
“chaos”, the unwashed masses, their minds already dulled by propaganda must
be controlled…or else. The socialist foundations are probably WORSE than
the Kochs!
Another thought… When I see discussions developping underneath
documentaries like these… I still see divisions of people… literally
divided people, either left OR right, either dem or rep either … while
that is exactly what “they” (whomever you want to point any fingers to,
including one self) would like to see so they can just continue behind the
screens… shit, the ones in power support ALL sides… (easiest thing to
illustrate this is the business of weapons… hell, they support wars on
both sides… with HK’s or AK’s, doesn’t matter, as long as the money is
coming in.
So, instead of focusing on which “side” one is on, we’ld better start to
realize what our common values and goals are and work towards that WITH an
“educated mind” (whatever that may mean at the moment).
So good luck all, good luck and I guess I’ll meet you all halfway…
After we burned down some of those welthy ivory towers, obviously ;).

these guys suck koch
I get the point, but the logic is off a bit. You rather have common core?
Yeah and Obamacare has held up to every promise. Less government is better.
When segregation is back on the table you know that the system is already
fucked beyond repair. These people deserve to die for what they are doing
to the American people and I don’t understand why they haven’t been killed
or imprisoned already. You can get life in jail for drug possession but
these cock suckers get nothing for their crimes. America is fucked and I’m
glad I don’t live there, I am ashamed that my government is a puppet to
America but I’m nowhere as ashamed as I would be if I were an American
citizen. You guy’s pretend that you need your guns for a reason and this is
it, go and fix your own fucking country for the sake of your people and
maybe you will remember what freedom and pride taste like again. America is
a cancer in the eyes of the entire world and we all know it is the
Government and not the people to blame, but the people need to take
responsibility for fixing this cold blooded, money hungry death machine.
…this was by an “acclaimed” director? It has the feel of “special
investigation” news story. All the background noises and snapcuts. Why is
there so much music in this? I don’t know how seriously to take this now.
Stopped halfway through. What the fuck.
