Open Letter to the Koch Brothers

Dear David and Charles, It is my hope and dream that you read this letter from my heart. I know this is highly unlikely but it is my American Dream. You two brothers are doing a great job in destroying the middle class and regular working Americans. Your little experiment pouring money into local elections, state elections and national elections is destroying 90% of the population. It is my dream that you keep your billions and stop spending on politics, education or the economy. Just make your money and give it to your famuly. Be greedy and keep it to yourself. That would make me happy. 1) Your desire for tax cuts has brought our country from a creditor nation in the 1970's to a debtor nation of epic proporations today. We do not have a spending problem as you say, but revenue problem. In the 1980's even Ronald Reagan gave a speach that the rich should pay 50% tax rate to pay their share. Due to our constant decrease in taxes we have less money for education, less for the poor, working families and domestic programs. While you two are not the only people asking for more tax cuts, these are benefiting you the most. Your wealth has greatly increased since the charge to lower taxes as you make more money in investments. This is a wealth transfer from working people to you in the 1%. 2) Your campaign against climate change is killing our planet. YOur group is sponsoring lies. Take some of your money and make green technology companies-think long term and investment in safe industries-put noooo. You lie and I mean lie about climate change and then create a group of people that follow you blindly. The 90% will suffer as you can afford to protect yourself from many of the hazards or natural issues. 3) Your crusade against unions, workers and labor is just deplorable. While it helps you obviously, this is causing middle class and working class income, wealth to go down and it is causing a crisis for working people. You two are trying to destroy government programs to help people while paying people too little. Your groups will want to get rid of minimum wage, worker protections and any workplace regulations but you do not want government to help either. You are destroying people's lives by your actions. 4) Libertarianism does not nor has it ever worked. The market place does not make corrections or help people. The marketplace does not prevent slavery, poor working conditions or low wages. The market is imperfect and helps the owners of capital. Your business and your 1% are getting tax breaks, tax credits and government assistance and YOU DO NOT NEED ANY HELP. Working people and middle class needs help. How does any of your companies getting a subsidy follow libertarianism? It does not. You want government to help your business when you need no help but you call everyone else lazy. Why do you deserve any tax help when you inherited your money and I work for a living? 5) Your group attacks education by advocating vouchers, home schooling and charter schools. Any money diverted from public education hurts our country. Yes you are in the 1% and can afford to send your children anywhere-the others cannot. We need public free education. Demoracy requires an intelligent, smart electorate and that is something YOU DO NOT WANT. Most 1% do NOT WANT an informed electorate as they would find out how much you are stealing and taking away from Americans. Please stop advocating your beliefs and causes as they are against over 330 million Americans. What is good for you IS NOT GOOD for AMERICA. I can pick any issue-guns, climate change, education, unions, womens rights, immigration, debt, infrastructure, taxes, healthcare and you are ON THE WRONG SIDE of America. The only reason Republicans are against many of these issue is because of you TWO PEOPLE. Obamacare is a package of REBUBLICAN ideas but of course you are Libertarian and do not care if people die since they do not have a doctor. You do not care if people do not have police if they do not pay for it. You want roads, schools, parks, prisons, everything to be private...you can pay for it but others cannot. You are selfish and greedy and I just wish you kept your money and did not spend it on politics or politicans. Yes, you have that freedom but you do not have the right to hurt other Americans-and you are. Please just keep your money. Please do not kill any more Americans. Please let us work and survive. Your beliefs are killing us. Clayton Guy
