Dirty Liar Charles Koch Campaigns As An Advocate For the Poor

The only regard Charles or David Koch have for the poor is keeping them in poverty and subjugated to the rich at any cost

For the poor, disparaged souls who make it their business to observe and comment on America’s woeful political circus, it is glaringly obvious that the Republican Party is wholly-owned and operated by the billionaire oil magnates the Koch brothers. The GOP are not just the mouthpiece of Charles and David Koch, it is a surrogate and plainly speaking, every vote for any Republican is a vote for the Koch brothers regardless the political office. This past weekend at a political strategy conference administered by the Kochs, Charles Koch launched into campaign mode and “compared ‘his’ influence over U.S. elections to America’s historical freedom movements.”

As the Republican Party’s lead oligarch, Charles Koch did what all Republicans are trained to do from an early age and lied about why he is crusading to buy and then abolish America’s government. He said, “Look at the American revolution, the anti-slavery movement, the women’s suffrage movement, the civil rights movement, all of these struck a moral chord with the American people. They all sought to overcome an injustice. And we, too, are seeking to right injustices that are holding our country back.” In the Koch brothers’ libertarian minds, the injustice holding “their” country back is a functioning government; the same government that ended slavery, gave women the right to vote, enacted civil rights laws, and protect Americans’ freedoms from monsters like the Kochs.

Two national polls and a New Hampshire poll find Trump way ahead of the rest of the Republican field.

While Trump's surge is gaining more media attention, Sanders is more likely to remain politically relevant in the Spring of 2016.

This is what the new MSNBC looks like in action. Joe Scarborough was allowed to use deceptively edited videos to attack Sen. Elizabeth Warren during a segment on Morning Joe.

Sen. Bernie Sanders will be unveiling new legislation on the Senate floor today that will put an end to the Citizens United system of legalized bribery by making public funding available to political candidates.

During a radio interview, Donald Trump humiliated himself by seeming to have no idea what kind of vote the Senate was taking on Planned Parenthood.

Republicans are offering Americans a false choice between cuts and privatization.



		FRIEND, Way back in January, as their very first act after taking full control of Congress, they showed their hand: House Republicans passed a rule explicitly to force a crisis for Social Security as a means to force benefit cuts that are both unwanted and unneeded. Now they are starting to make their move: Mainstream media outlets are echoing the Wall Street talking points, falsely saying that Social Security is going broke and pitting the young, old, and people with disabilities against each other. The New York Times ran an op-ed claiming, “Rising national debt levels may threaten the ability of millennials to collect on promised Social Security and Medicare benefits.” They continue to use this outrageous talking point – thought-up by Third Way, Fix The Debt and other Wall Street front groups – even though Social Security has never contributed one penny to the deficit, has a $2.8 trillion surplus, can pay out every benefit owed to every eligible American for the next 19 years and approximately 80% of benefits owed after that if no action is taken. And this is just the beginning: A think tank called the Center for a Responsible Federal Budget is using this week to offer their own so-called compromise solutions, nearly all of which will cut the earned benefits of millions of Americans in exchange for allowing our Social Security system to continue to function as promised. We’ve beaten back these attacks before, but we need your help again. Please donate to Social Security Works today to fight the united Republican attack on Social Security. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately: Express Donate: $5 Express Donate: $25 Express Donate: $50 Express Donate: $100 Or, donate another amount. Republicans claim they are the ones willing to make tough decisions. But forcing some of our country’s most vulnerable off of Social Security while millionaires and billionaires only pay into the program on a fraction of their income isn’t a tough decision, it’s outrageous. Republicans are offering Americans a false choice between cuts and privatization. You and I know that all it really takes to extend the life of the Social Security trust fund is to ask the wealthy to start paying their fair share of taxes. And when they do, we can afford to expand benefits for millions of Americans. Stand with Social Security Works in our fight to expand, not cut Social Security! Please donate today. Thank you for your generous support as we fight these Republican attacks and continue to grow the movement for Social Security expansion. Michael Phelan Social Security Works
