Why are we supposed to be against the Koch Brothers again?

[sgt150]

I can. Remember that crony-capitalism involves buying off government representatives so that they will pass laws that benefit you.

It is immoral.

Yep, and that is what the Koch Bros are all about. They have been failures at working the system to pass libertarian reforms. Their strategy has been a failure through their thinktanks. But they have given money to some of the worst anti-libertarian Republican politicians you could ever imagine. So they try to grease the system. Any liberty-minded people who follows these people and their groups (Ed Crane ain't any better) over the Mises & JBS crew that includes the Pauls is tremendously misguided.

I do agree with them though, that we need to be engaged in Washington, D.C. Ron Paul has been serving as a one-man Mises Institute by having his educational lunches. When he is no longer there, the only place that say, new congressman, will have available to them in D.C. is CATO. I really wish the Mises Institute had a presence there and made themselves available.

Ron's made it so liberty candidates can get elected as long as we stay active and focused. We don't need a beltway thinktank apparatus to promote our views because we have the grassroots that can raise money and fund patriot candidates. Mises Institute had the right idea staying out of that toxic cesspool known as D.C. IMO

They're our friends when they're anti-Obama, anti-tax, anti-global warming, anti-health care, and Tea Party. But they're our biggest enemies when they're neocons, anti-corporate tax, anti-OWS.

[Son of Detroit]

anti-corporate tax, anti-OWS.

Because the liberals say your suppose too?

onlyrp is an obvious troll that somehow hasn't been banned yet, don't worry about the nonsense that he says

It's already been explained by many people in this thread. You read it?

Cato Institute does not suck. The Koch Brothers may be trying to turn it into a mouth piece for the GOP but that doesn't mean they suck.

That ship sailed 30 years ago.

Again, Dr. Paul did not feel that way, or he wouldn't have been hosting educational lunches on economics for years on end.
