Koch is into every state in so many ways they are in essence more powerful then the president.presidents Roosevelt,Taft,and Carter were the only ones that saw the danger in that and did something about it.
I think the biggest problem is the public in general has been hard pressed in their daily lives they are missing or out of touch in the big picture,DIBC is micro politics,the rest of the country could care less other then the argument of why pay for a bridge in another city when we need a bridge here,Koch effects everybody everyday no matter where you live.
Eggs for breakfast and chicken for dinner ? No matter where you live in the country 90% chance it came from Koch that is only 2 of the many.
Because everybody is so concerned about eating from day to day they do not have time so they place the trust in others to do the right thing,that is why I say instead of fighting for $15 per per hour the same energy should have been placed towards the government and systematic change and clearly define the role of the government.
Do that and everything else is pointless,you would not need PAC or politic favors because thier job is the common good for all Americans.
