4 Decades of Koch network libertarianism has all but destroyed the working/middle class while the top 1% became morbidly richer
And they have already succeeded in bringing us back to the days of the robber barons

Under Democrats, New Deal economic equality created a growing economy
America was never more prosperous & the working/middle class flourished. Businesses created new products & and wages grew with the economy

Eisenhower called out the Billionaire's as being negligible in numbers and stupid
But the Koch brothers had already formulated their plan to destroy the new deal economy and replace it with unrestricted capitalism
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
Billionaires, viewed a strong working/middle class as a threat to their profits
To them the working/middle class was too uppity and how dare we the little people hold them accountable for Taxes/SS benefits/Antitrust

The art of Koch networks misleading messaging came to fruition under Goldwater
They not only promoted “Greed is Good” but packaged it up in the pursuit of liberty. A false premise that all Republicans use to this day
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
Selling the Koch agenda which is to remove
all regulation from the government,
abandonment of the IRS and Income Tax,
abolishing the EPA, FBI
and all antitrust enforcement
Only benefits 1% of our population

In Reagan Koch libertarians found their man
In 1981, Ronald Reagan was sworn in and implicitly promised to destroy our government because it was the problem, and the Koch network has spent billions to make it happen

GOP lawmakers are paid well by the #KochNetwork
Every elected Republican accepts Koch dark money
And do their damndest to wreck our Govt,
only to turn around and claim Govt is broken and only they can fix it!!
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
Disguising their true agenda is paramount to the #KochNetwork success
as an example
How in the world does having a gas stove have anything to do with Liberty?
Yet that is what they are selling

The coalition of hate is necessary and targeting low intelligence voters completes their Authoritarian regime agenda
Its the Christian Nationalist/Nazi/2A circle of hate
and is as bad as it sounds
