@TheKaos007 Soros is worth 3 billion and donates way more money to philanthropy than politics, Koch brothers are worth 36 billion and spend billions on conservative pro corporate issues.

[TheKaos007]

@scizhouse You win what ?

[scizhouse]

@TheKaos007 Ha I win you have no come back at all son!! Go home. ROFL!!!

[TheKaos007]

@scizhouse Actually you pretty much proved you are full of shit..

[scizhouse]

@TheKaos007 Actually you pretty much proved my whole point. You see when you mentioned there donations and contributions you bought into the the public image. You saw the funds and you bring it up as a point to show how positive and good the company is there for again you bought into public image. It doesn't matter what you say because you believe them to be good that's marketing public image 101 buddy. Also it seem you just want to attack people and you don't even Koch brother actually do.

[TheKaos007]

@scizhouse What public image, i never heard of the Koch brothers until the left turned them into the new boogiemen..

i do not even know what products they sell so your point is bullshit..

[scizhouse]

@TheKaos007 Have you ever heard of public image. Without public image people wont buy your products. What your stating is a public image account spending. Its like when Mc Donalds had the whole health scare. They had to start pushing spending accounts for cancer and health foods. They also donated millions to hospital and scholarship tuition etc. But even though they do this we all know Mc Donalds is unhealthy and not to eaten monthly. Just because a company donates doesn't mean there good.

[deshaebeasley]

dont the goldman sachs do the same things? this has been going on for years.. i think we need to eliminate parties on ballots that way people will be faced to pay a little more attention to the persons message (policies) instead.

ron paul 2012!

[madebutante]

Is Koch funding anti-Muslim hate actions through the Tea Party group, ACT! for America? If so, they NEED TO BE EXPOSED !

[TheKaos007]

@MaudsPas last decade the Koch brothers have given over $600 million . New York-Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell: $15 million M.D. Anderson Cancer Center: $25 million The Hospital for Special Surgery: $26 million Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center: $30 million Prostate Cancer Foundation: $41 million Deerfield Academy: $68 million Lincoln Center's NY State Theater: $100 million Massachusetts Institute of Technology: $139 million

So you be full of shit..
