What is it about two men – Koch Brothers -- that puts so much hate in the hearts of the ignorant left wing ? These are the same people who carry posters around saying communism feeds more people than the free market, or that Karl Marx was right.

They do not seem to think about what could be the effect of their hatred. The personal attacks on these two men connects to a broader hatred of people who have been successful in this country.

What gives big mouth-Harry Reid the right to attack these men when he becomes wealthy with his investments? The other side will say that the Koch Brothers influence our election system and make it more impossible for democracy. Why is it only groups with Conservative or Libertarian ideology’s is there outrage ? Why are they so obsessed with the Koch brothers contributing to the Republican party when Big labor is a much lager contributor to the Democratic party? Why is it such a selected moral outrage? What about the environmentalist who said in 2014 he would donate to Democrats who supported extreme environmentalist ideals?

If the Koch brothers are influencing their radical libertarian ideas in the Republican party, could you say the environmentalist lobby is influencing the Democratic party with extreme views?

We have come to a point in our culture where things are justified in the name of the collective.

Individual action is regarded in our culture as isolated, insular or cold-heated.

The real cold-hearted ideology is that you can somehow create a benevolent bureaucracy.

The truth is there is not widespread or broad knowledge of how money should be spent in government, but instead very narrow minded knowledge. The knowledge is narrow minded because there is a lack of competition -- which means a lack of incentives to make things better. The question is whetherEvery time a Utopian leader comes on the scene, you can just start getting those gas chambers ready. money is spent more effectively in the hands of private individuals or the so called benevolent bureaucracy.

Progressives are wrong that the Utopian dream they have always idealized can work in the real world.
