""The Kansas Policy Institute, where Brownback delivered his recent speech to warm applause, is funded by the billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch.

The Kochs, whose oil and energy conglomerate is based in Wichita, have been among Brownback’s biggest supporters since he first ran for Congress in 1994 and have been boosters of the tea party movement through their group Americans for Prosperity. The Koch family, Koch Industries and Koch employees have contributed at least $143,000 to Brownback’s campaigns over the years, according to federal and state election records.

Critics say that the Kochs have too much say about what is happening in Kansas. Brownback appointed one Americans for Prosperity consultant to be his budget director and hired the wife of another leader as his spokeswoman.

The Kochs “have been handed the keys to the governor’s office,” said state Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Democrat. “They have a tremendous amount of influence in Kansas politics and nationally.”"

Corporatocracy and Facsism waiting in the wings.

From Wiki;

"He distinguishes an inter-war period in which it manifested itself in elite-led but populist "armed party" politics opposing socialism and liberalism and promising radical politics to rescue the nation from decadence.[34] Mussolini said that Fascism is revolutionary against liberalism "since it wants to reduce the size of the State to its necessary functions.""

From "What they Said";

"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism, because it is a merger of state and corporate power."----Benito Mussolini

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in it's essence, is fascism-----ownership of government by an individual, or by a group."
----FDR.

"When fascism comes to America, it will come wrapped in a flag and clutching the bible."
----Upton Sinclair

Keep on trying to give the "job creaters" carte blanche to do as they damn well please. It can only lead to good things.......Right?

Goddamn, Blue you for sure went to a lot of trouble.

Who really gives a rat's ass about what they do in Kansas.

I live next door to 'em, and so long as they don't burn Osceola again I don't much care.

Besides, I'm too old and fat to ride to Lawrence.
