In reply to the discussion: Koch Brothers, Allies Pledge $100 Million At Private Meeting To Beat Obama [View all]stevenleser
(32,886 posts)72. But they do know that. Regarless of obfuscation, GOP's reason for being is the 1%.
They have adopted social positions and various other positions to help try and get them to 50.1% in elections but the real reason they are there is to funnel money and power to the 1%. That is there entire reason for being.
As that is the case, the Koch brothers are secure in knowing that whoever the GOP nominates, it will be their guy. That person would do exactly what 'W' and Reagan did on their first day in office. THey would have a list of regulations provided by the 1% that they would throw aside via executive order. The death of those regulations alone will put millions more money in the hands of the 1%.
