TYT: The Sinister Reason The Koch Brothers Oppose Obamacare



"Americans for Prosperity — the group backed by David H. and Charles G. Koch that has been pouring millions of dollars into competitive Senate races to the rising alarm of Democrats — was also among the politically active groups on the ground in this month's special House election on Florida's Gulf Coast.

But its agenda had little to do with the fate of David Jolly, the Republican candidate who won that race. The group's ground troops — including those who knocked on doors, ran phone banks and reached out through social media to gauge ways to motivate voters — were part of a much greater project, with a prize much larger than a congressional seat."* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

do just that? Why would a US Senator leave his seat to become a governor? To take over running the Koch Energy Industry in America? The Keystone XL could be rerouted eastward, up north, and then south to Louisiana bypassing the Cushing, OK storage and directional terminals, then on to the Gulf Coast states, especially Lousiana. The Chinese have a lot of refineries in Texas. Exporting energy will drive the cost up for the American consumers; which means more profits for the Kochs.
