Ever heard the term Kochtopus?

This is the thing about their mission statements... they are propaganda, pure and simple.

Fiscal Responsibility = kill off all entitlement programs for the poor and seniors but continue to provide subsidies to oil companies by all means

Constitutionally Limited Government - don't try and regulate private industry... especially convicted polluters such as Koch Industries

Free Markets - See above - deregulate deregulate deregulate

Deregulation is what led to the financial crisis.
You are bashing the core values that they put out, claiming where they started, so what?
it's those values that got the butts in the seats and got out the votes.

You scream deregulation
So you're for more regulation? More red tape to build a business? Just asking

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
