Purchasing power, and Owing Favors

THINGS WERE GOING QUITE WELL at our recent gathering of high school classmates at a nice, secluded resort. Quite well, until somebody said: "God bless the Koch brothers." Well, God bless us all, and God help us all. The Koch brothers were being blessed because he who blessed them is a right winger, and right wingers are happy to have tens of millions of dollars of campaign contributions flowing into the coffers of right wing political candidates. But they shouldn't be. They shouldn't be because the Koch brothers are part of the problem, not the solution. Barrack Hussein Obama purchased the American presidency for approximately one billion dollars, and whoever purchases it in 2016 will pay a much higher price. Hillary Clinton publicly stated that she intends to beg two point five billion, and use it to pay for the nation's most expensive job. Anybody who wants to beat her at her own game will have to spend at least that much, and the Koch brothers are ready, willing, and able to help. By blessing the Koch brothers, my right wing friend was blessing the greatest corruption extant in America. Bernie Sanders refuses all help from billionaires; he chooses to milk the common man, one dollar at a time. It amounts to the same thing. Donald Trump doesn't need anybody's money, and he aint shy about telling us exactly why he doesn't need it (hint:its because he's so filthy rich already) but five'll get you ten he'll get offers, and he won't turn them down. Its always better to spend other people's money. One can scarcely imagine the number of wealthy folks to whom Obama still owes favors, and what those favors might be. I have a dream. A legislative dream. The sale and Purchase of Political Advertising Is Prohibited. May my dream come true.
