Oh right, because they are greedy assholes with too much money and time on their hands. Two successful "self-made" businessmen who inherited their daddy's money and company.

Why do the Koch Brothers have 400+ people to manage their money as opposed to a dozen or so for Warren Buffet and George Soros?

Warren and George understand the markets and worked their way up, as opposed to Chuckie and Davy who got their fortune from Daddy.

We complain that GOP has deep pockets yet we do too. We used to have George Soros who used to get us across the finish line. Where the heck is he. We never fight back. It is so annoying. We might as well play the game until the law changes. What if the law stays in place for 10 years? Will complaining be our fight? We could lose some races due to our inaction. That would indeed be tragic.
