[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 930876, member: 2189"] Enjoyed that read on several points. On the Kochtopus, there is a lot out there on the matter but 2 pieces I think do a good job at hitting the high points are Mises Institute's Senior Fellow David Gordon who wrote [URL="http://www.lewrockwell.com/gordon/gordon86.1.html"][COLOR=#ff0000]this piece[/COLOR][/URL] for LRC and then Justin Raimondo of AntiWar.com [URL="http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2010/08/29/in-defense-of-the-kochtopus/"][COLOR=#ff0000]who speaks [/COLOR][/URL]fairly and even in some manner a defense of the Koch's and yet was there as a first hand witness to how the Kochs can operate. I'd agree the Koch Bros. aren't the boogie men made out to be as Justin rightly points out but they aren't the pinnacles of libertarian and free market principles either. That's my take on it. I agree that any discussion of Keynesian or Austrian economics in current American politics is lost on much of the population. Mention Austrian economics and most folks will think you are trying to make the country Austria in charge of our economics so there you go. I find dumbing it down makes little difference as those who want to catch up will and no amount of making it easy will urge some folks to catch up. Those that want to catch up will and those sincere you'll know it and then adjust accordingly. One liners and talking points is what most want so your point is well made. I don't think Paul is perfect because if he was and got elected, he'd declare himself dictator, order everyone in Washington back home from where they came and then dynamite Washington DC into rumble and then himself retire back to Texas. LOL! OK, so Paul will never do that but I too would love to see Obama have to face down Ron Paul in a one on one debate on the real issues.
