[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 814066, member: 2189"] As to the Koch's so-called libertarian traditions, it is true they seed monied a lot of efforts including it's most successful, the Cato Institute. But in the case of Cato and later events across the libertarian movement, the common knowledge is not as well known and thanks to one of the earliest Cato scholars now at the Mises Institute, David Gordon enlightens with his [URL="http://www.economicpolicyjournal.com/2010/12/understanding-rothbard-koch-break.html"][COLOR=red]2 part essay[/COLOR] [/URL]on those early days and what Cato was suppose to be about are now more well known. But then what gives legs to the theory that the Kochs as the masterminds of libertarianism and the paywindow for movements against the state bordering on some twisted idea they've got some stateless anarchy in mind is as [URL="http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2010/11/25/libertarians-against-the-regime/"][COLOR=red]Justin Riamondo[/COLOR] [/URL]sez, "from Bizarro World!" That said, give credit where credit is due and Lee Fang at Think Progress, a group probably about as far from free market libertarianism/anarchism as Satan is to Heaven, on some analysis of the Koch Bros. Pay very close attention starting at the 50 sec. mark because Fang smacks the Koch's all the way into the cheap seats and God bless him for it!
