I received this email from Elizabeth Warren today.
So today – at their ultra-exclusive strategy summit in Colorado Springs – they announced a new plan: To offer big bucks to Democrats who will fight Elizabeth Warren and throw working people under the bus.
The Koch’s have offered to “work with” Democrats who will “stand up to Elizabeth Warren” and vote for financial reform that “breaks barriers for community banks and families”.
The email went on to say:
But what the Koch network said today is a dangerous right wing strategy: Divide Democrats as much as possible going into the midterm elections. Turn Elizabeth into a politically toxic bogeywoman. And scare Democrats from standing up to the rich and powerful and fighting for a level playing field.
If you haven’t read the book “Democracy in Chains” by Nancy MacLean, please do so. She does a masterful job in detailing their philosophy of public choice economics and its history. It’s quite amazing the 40-year campaign of the Koch’s to overturn our democracy by promoting a brand of politics that is nothing more than a rationalization for greed and selfishness.
These people are so bereft of morals and ethics they will blatantly offer bribes under the guise of helping the little guy.
