really offsets
Carl Sagan thank you for the Alex Jones clip I think it really open the eyes a
civil libertarian Klein friends of mine on Facebook I think the Koch brothers
influence
have not only the Tea Party but also libertarian ideology is becoming a
little more apparent to people so maybe this government shutdown debacle
might start to move some other 30-somethings who fell for Ron Paul back
toward the left and to the spectrum
indeed I mean look you know back in the day when I was doing till rat again
and arguing with Tim Carney you really had a problem with people demon is in
the Koch brothers now
I am and he would go to their retreat and what not I don't know that they paid
him
a knife to shape his thinking who knows
I am but the bottom line is
is that the Koch brothers a fund
these libertarian ideologies because
they want to improve their business
they claim that they don't want to see any corporations getting largess but of
course they get largess
not only do they probably get it in the form of subsidies
but they also get it in the form
I love tax expenditures in the form I love
eminent domain that we see taking place through texas and oklahoma for
things like keystone in their other pipelines they get government largesse
in a myriad of ways and
the less regulation and when we say regulation we know what that means that
means
the more society at large subsidizes their business model
by paying for the cost to fix turnout reserve them doing business
the higher their profit margins
and so
lack a regulation lack
Ave force that forces them to pay for their externalities
which they share of that cost on to us is a subsidy
they tried to frame it that regulation puts an undue burden on business
that burden is not undue it is the burden
are having to pay your operating costs
is the burden of not being able to shift on to the public into society at large
your operating costs that's why they wanna be
freed from the shackles below shackles are a bunch of us saying
take you can't pee on me at least without my permission
I know you've got to relieve yourself
but you can't P here you burdening me man i'm having to hold it in
or pee on myself or have to go find a toilet
weiss's you have access to a toilet
and understand that this just sort of come out in a nice options that come
I'm not sure I understand your way we government-approved
why should you force me why should force me to provide for you it will
and force me not to be any right that's basically what the response is right
response is why should you force me to find a toilet right
well you can pee on yourself
