"Far from trying to rig the system, I have spent decades opposing cronyism and all political favors, including mandates, subsidies and protective tariffs -- even when we benefit from them. I believe that cronyism is nothing more than welfare for the rich and powerful, and should be abolished."

Charles Koch
(1935-) American businessman and philanthropist

The most hated man by the left. Truth and honesty cuts them to the bone and they squeel for it.

    The quote has little substance, however I believe our Mr Koch, in reading the accompanying description, doesn't really realize he's the collectivist fellow, whatever the hell that means, and you really can't restore anything that really hasn't existed in the first place, and finally your expression of fighting says you are the one opposed to a friendly debate. Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create friendly discussion.

    Finally Mr. Koch, the Socialist being is not trying to assassinate a character as much as to deliver one as to be more aligned with the understanding of how our world is really arranged. To believe in a vulnerable free society that arrives and then goes on retreat as your restoration statement leads us to believe, is a character that doesn't really understand the matter of what true freedom entails. Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create equality.
