Amy Chozick in her
New York Times article of April 21, 2013 describes the billionaire Koch
brothers as supporters of libertarian causes. I don’t think that the Koch
brothers are interested in individual liberty. I see them as supporters of
their own interest and in the profits and power of their own class.
Ms. Chozick points out that the Koch
brothers held a seminar three years ago with wealthy donors to develop a strategy
to shift the country to smaller government with less regulation and taxes. She
goes on to state that the Koch brothers now want to buy up major newspapers in
this country to spread their laissez-faire ideas. I would like to inform Ms.
Chozick that control of the media by the Koch brothers has nothing to do with
laissez-faire ideas. The ideology of the Koch Brothers has more to do with
monopoly rule.
