But what about the important question? Would the Koch boys get their entitlement under this bill?
No, the important part is whether the Koch Brothers would release the campaign contributions theyâre holding hostage until enough poor people are set to die.

I donât believe the Kochs are in this to kill people. People dying is just the cost of doing business, itâs seen as collateral damage. They simply donât want other people telling them what to do with their money and theyâve bought and paid for a congress that is supposed to do as they are told. What seems like punishing the poor to you and me is, to them, no different than shutting down the EPA so they are unregulated and privatizing natural resources so they can be extracted more efficiently.

How to stop these zombie attempts to repeal the ACA?
Wise words from Sheriff McClelland:
Sheriff McClelland:
âWell, thereâs no problem. If you have a gun, shoot 'em in the head.
Thatâs a sure way to kill 'em. If you donât, get yourself a club or a
torch. Beat 'em or burn 'em. They go up pretty easy.â
My absolute favorite line from Night of the Living Dead.

But no one asks: Who doesnât want health care?
LOLâŚthey want to kill this SO bad but they arenât smart enough to do itâŚLOL.
Their donors are already screaming âDo SOMETHING, goddamit!â
If they fuck up on tax reform and canât their donors some kind of new tax break, hereâs what their donors will sound like come the midterms:
Thatâs because this isnât about health care. Itâs about free market capitalism, which, to a free market capitalist, means establishing a monopoly with high return on investment.
I know what you are going to say: not_so_fluffy, isnât a monopoly the opposite of free market? No, the goal of the free market is to create monopolies, survival of the fittest. Competition and regulation get in the way of profit margins. Sick people are a poor investment.
This is not about health care and never has been. Itâs about protecting large corporations from being held accountable for doing business.

Iâm not sure about that. Theyâve been vicious enough over the years (while still not doing substantially better than the S&P) that Iâm left with the impression that bad things happening to other people is a positive good for them. The way that Scalia used to chuckle when saying that the clear letter of the constitution prevented him from righting some particular wrong.
