New Forbes magazine cover has Charles Koch with the quote " Most power is power to coerce somebody"

Inside here is the money quote "We raised a lot of money and mobilized an awful lot of people and we lost, plain and simple...We're not going to roll over and play dead". Of course he and his brother are not going to play dead they just brought the legislatures and legislators in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Wisconsin. Since they already own Kansas they will be coming to a state near you. I see they have Illinois next on their radar.

These people are evil incarnate and I don't know how we can stop their silent coup of our country. We have to mobilize more in smarter ways and educate every American as to what they want and that is to make the USA into a third world country where they pay us a pittance in wages and keep us down by getting rid of social security and medicare. But the problem with that is a whole lot of people have had a taste of middle class life and aren't about to let it go away.

It is a chilling read for what they have in store for us.

They don't have kindness in their (stone) hearts for working-class people. Neither do most of the uber-wealthy.

It's class warfare, all right--we didn't start it, but we CANNOT AFFORD to LOSE it!!!
