Somebody didn’t get the message that Republicans are now living in opposite world when it come to trade. Time for some traffic problems outside the Koch Industries parking lot…

Surely the simple solution is to make the Koch brothers Senators by presidential decree on January 20th, if they can take the time from their busy schedules. They seem less impulsive and thin-skinned than some elected officials and are not addicted to twitter rants.

Koch Industries Opposes Human Beings.

“They just get in the way of making more money,” said a Koch spokesrobot in a press release. “Someone should really look into how to eliminate them altogether.”

"Koch Industries said that the proposed change, called ‘border adjustments,’ would “adversely impact American consumers.”

This is what I admire most about the Koch brothers and the billionaire class.

They’re always looking out for the little guy.

I wasn’t sure the Koch brothers understood that if they tax the working class too much they won’t have money left to buy products from them.

Those of us who are not economists and who didn’t sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night would like to know the difference between “border adjustments” and tariffs.

If anyone utters the term “job creators” in my presence I will instinctively knock them the fuck out.

It isn’t going to happen. There’s no way in hell the GOP is going to place a tariff like they say. Just about every American manufacture of small home appliances and electronics does so overseas. If they do this a Kitchen Aid mixer goes from 299 to 375 and that’s not going to happen. An iPhone goes up 35 % as does an F150 pickup. It isn’t a real discussion. The only way you keep manufacturing in the USA is to bribe it or legislate it. neither is going to happen on any great scale.

This a a dog and pony show. Cover smoke for empty and impossible promises by Trump. The USA is NOT going to put a tariff on shit.

“In response to the Koch statement, Rep. Kevin Brady (R-KS), the chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, said that he would like to work with the Kochs on changes to the tax code.”

And when such changes are made, the “job creators” will get their YUUUGE tax cuts, keep their loopholes (which will retitled along the lines of “enterprise incentives” etc.), corporate profits will increase w/o pesky things like profit-sharing for the bottom 90 %, and all will be sweetness and light throughout the land.

And in 2018, if a single Rethug loses an election, our electoral system will be “reformed and replaced” with something soooo tremendous - how about elections by Twitter?

The Kochs suddenly realizing that when you try to teach a generation of politicians to be backstabbers they will eventually try to screw you over. Screw both parties, I hope they eat each other.

Just wait until the Waltons throw in their 2 cents… Is there anything at Wal-mart that doesn’t come from somewhere else?

That’s “Sainted Pedlers of All We Need and Want, Rulers of the Holy Free Market Empire, Dukes of the Exalted Dollar, Lords of Industry, Etc., Etc., Their Majesties, the Job Creators” to you, buddy.

We need to pay these superhumans the respect they deserve because, as you seem to have forgotten, all that we own, and indeed - since we are what we own - our very lives, is given through the jobs they so valiantly, and at such tremendous sacrifice to themselves, provide us (so “sad!” what they have had to endure for our sake). So if we anger the Sainted Pedlers of All We Need and Want, Rulers of the Holy Free Market Empire, Dukes of the Exalted Dollar,Lords of Industry Etc., Etc., Their Majesties, the Job Creators, they may revoke our jobs - even all the excellent less-than-living wage jobs they’ve, in their magnificent ability to supercharge the economy, bestowed upon so many drumpf voters.

Afterall, we wouldn’t want to speak against these Lords, and cause those voters to rise up against drumpf and cast him… er… never mind: like THAT’LL ever happen.

There should be an intellectual property tax. 10% of unadjusted gross revenue paid by every holder of a patent, copyright or trademark. Regardless of where the product is made. That should be the price of having a government enforced monopoly in the United States.

Those who don’t pay can take their chances on the free market and see how much revenue the copycats make off with.

I look forward to paying $200 for a common 2 slice toaster.

I don’t know what state Kevin Brady represents, but it’s not Kansas.

Facts matter.
