(Now that the Koch brothers and their conservative plutocrat allies have completed their acquisition of the U.S. Congress, adding the Senate to their portfolio and increasing their holdings in the House, the country really needs a name which more accurately describes who's in charge. "United States of America" just seems too vague so I'd like to suggest "Koch Republic" as a fitting substitute. But, I digress.)
In remarks today, Koch Republic spokesman (and GOP Rep.) John Boehner noted: "Finding common ground is going to be hard work, but it will be even harder if the president isn’t willing to work with us."
Translation: Mr. President, you've really got to stop with that "rebuilding the middle class" nonsense. Koch Republic upper management just isn't going to tolerate it. Those proposals of yours are going to cost them money and we all know that's unacceptable. Besides, a whole bunch of the middle class voted for us on Tuesday. They clearly like austerity and hate Social Security, Medicare, the rest of those "safety net" programs. They long for the challenge of living in poverty and we want to help them realize that dream. So, please, Mr. President, stop getting in the way.
