At the risk of boring you with numbers, I'm going to go ahead and put up some numbers and we'll just see how it goes. Make a guess at what they stand for.
47 of the poorest countries
The combined Gross National Product
of the 47 poorest countries is equal to the
combined income of THREE (not 3%)
of the wealthiest people on the Globe.
I’m circling back around to the Brothers and Sisters of Zion. When I started looking for more info about the Koch boys, the Mormons would seem to pull up in conjunction. Hmmm, I’m thinking, this should be interesting. But it's been a little odd. The names are paired but, evidently, any business they are conducting or relationship they have is not readily accessible. Hmmmm.
So here is my theory (told in true attention deficit, tangential communication style.)
The Kochs already own a huge complex of varied business, PACs, schools, overseas manufacturing, media, lobbyist, PR firms and of course government officials. The media has cheerfully named the complex the Kochtopus.
It appears that some people don’t think politicians should be purchased.
(Clearly, the politicians do not have the same reservations.)
It appears that some people don’t want an oil pipeline running down from Canada, through the middle of the United States, and then out to the gulf of Mexico. The boys haven't followed regulations as it is and the leaking network of pipeline already in place is a biohazard.
Even with the anticipated payout for the brothers being in excess of $100 billion dollars, it isn't going to trickle down to those of us who aren't already billionaires or to those of us who don't have seats on Capital Hill.

(I’ll bet these are the same selfish people that didn’t want raw sewage running through the middle of the streets in Elizabethan England.)
It appears that some people don’t think it is appropriate for a company making record profits in the billions of dollars to continue to screw over . . . well, screw over everyone.
It appears that some people don’t think it is a good idea to offer government subsidies and remove government regulation for the primary benefit of one corporation and it’s dual brother captains.
(Especially while the law was put in place specifically to curtail the type of behavior the corporation is engaged in.)
It appears that some people don’t think bribery, price fixing, leaking toxic waste and doing business with tyrannical foreign countries that America is boycotting is a very good mission statement.
It appears that some people don’t think workers safety should be ignored secondary to an extensive cost analysis.
(So in dollar terms, how much is one life worth? Evidently, it is considerably less than paying to repair a pipeline.)
We are headed to the point where I start trying to wrap this up. I'm sure you see the stumbling block in going with the attention deficit, tangential thought, communication style. That is compounded by the uncontrollable litany caused the by the possible zombie brothers. So for now, how about we hear a little refrain of the song that initiated this series of posts?
