These two good old boys have way too much influence over OUR lives.. I should pause before I bother further elaborating on the activities of the Koch brothers to point out that, even if you agree with every single one of their platforms, and are into denying climate change, and despise net neutrality for some reason, and deeply hate trains, you still shouldn’t be cool with two random billionaires exerting crazily disproportionate influence over the legislation of our country. (Also, you should probably ask yourself why your priorities and needs seem to correspond absolutely to the priorities and needs of two people who are richer than everyone you’ve ever known smashed together, and consider that, possibly, you are a victim of propaganda. But that’s between you and your media outlets.) Even if you don’t think high speed rail is a good investment, you should ask yourself, do I want two strangers deciding for me and my constituents whether high speed rail is or isn’t a good investment? As American citizens, aren’t we all entitled to an equal say, an equal voice? How can we make informed judgments about who to elect if candidates are citing propaganda written at think tanks founded and bankrolled by the same billionaires funding the candidate’s campaign?
