Bad Investment

These guys don’t really mind all the negative publicity they get for throwing their money around our political system. That’s obvious.

The conservative Koch brothers’ political network plans to spend $889 million during the 2016 election cycle, according to media reports out of the network’s donor meeting being held early this week in California.

The massive investment planned by groups founded by Charles and David Koch was announced in a Monday morning meeting at the Rancho Mirage Ritz Carlton, The Washington Post and Politico reported.

The thing is, people get very upset about stuff like this. It has a tendency to backfire against the persons, ethnic groups, financial classes, etc., associated with the political corrupters.

Most likely, the Kochs and their confederates will not get what they want and will eventually get their comeuppance.

Remember that after the era of the robber barons came the Progressive Era.

It will come again, and the Kochs will be enemy No. 1.
