The Billionaire Matchmakers

[Max E.]

I thought it was funny too, but it seems pretty Douchey to go after republicans for the koch brothers, when Hillary, the biggest insider of all times is running on the other side.

The left never believes there is anything nefarious going on with their billionaires but they think every one of them on the other side is the biggest crook in the world.

I thought it was a funny video. I agree with his take, too - on most of it. I also note, however, that he doesn't point out billionaires like Soros and their connection the democratic party, but he's a left leaning comedian.

It's hard not to like Stewart. His sarcasm and delivery are awesome. But it's a given that when you watch him, 9 times out of 10 you're going to see things from the liberal point of view. You have to accept that if you click on him

It takes big money to be heard above the din.

There are 9 individual contributors who provide more money to political campaigns in the U.S. than the Koch brothers. Many of these individuals (Steyer, Bloomberg, Eychaner, Simons, Soros (at 12th), etc.) focus on providing money to Democratic candidates. Maybe Stewart needs to cover some of their conferences and meetings with candidates.

So it takes nine to top the Kochs alone?

LOL, what a load of shit, Soros made a large chunk of his wealth by evading taxes his whole life, and now he thinks that taxes should be raised on everyone else to pay for his commie utopia. Atleast the koch brothers are practicing what they preach. Soros is nothing more than a hypocrite.

You're just a mindless shill. Soros is playing the game because that's how it's played. Change the rules and he'll play differently. You don't gain by being the only one not urinating in the pool.

Oh, the glorious tax-loving Kochs? Spin aside, not so much.

That's a good one!

The Kochs are calling for an end to corporate welfare, while they've received hundreds of millions of the same.

...If your argument is to get big money out of politics (which I agree with) then you have to remove the factor of the ideals, which biases your own opinion...

I agree. But until then, one offsets the other. However, the sooner big money is properly muzzled and no more influential than small money, the better.

All nine donate MORE than the Kochs.

All nine donate MORE than the Kochs.

I read the Kochs are planning to spend nearly $1 billion. All nine of those persons are going to spend more than $1 billion each?
