Koch Brothers Paid $200K for fireworks show in Palm Beach

This past New Year's Eve the Koch Brothers funded a $200K fireworks show in Palm Beach, FL. You've got 50 million uninsured Americans in the United States, crumbling schools, police and fire officials being laid off...and these guys spend $200K on a private fireworks display. The haves versus the have nots.

let em' waste all their money on useless crap. I don't care how they spend it unless they are trying to influence Washington. I certainly don't expect greedy fucking loser assholes to help anyone but themselves.

Ever been to a "high society" charity function? They spend 2 million on a party to raise $50,00o to donate to charity. Makes a nice write off and they get a great party out of it.

Hell and damnation, people have to be entertained.
