"we favor the abolition of medicare and medicaid programs. we favor the repeal of the fraudulent, virtually aggregate, and increasingly oppressive social security system." they are not talking about cutting social security. they are talking about eliminating social security. "we urge the repeal of federal campaign finance laws in the immediate abolition of the federal election commission." you know what that means? they are not content with citizens united and having to do independent expenditures. i want to be able to give somebody a check directly. here's $50 milli

if you love the arts, you will thank david koch. i mean you will thank the koch brothers. this -- yes you can hate them if you want to hate them and people like to do it because it drives things to their website. they are spending a lot of money. democratic billionaires have been doing this for years. how stupid do these people think they are. >> we're obviously not from iowa. state after state i don't know what exact it has to introduce their names. >> they just aren't that like -- you know the weirdest thing is that ideologically if you read the "new york times" article about david koch or if you know anything about charles koch, they don't -- you know, they are more a grand pal on gay marriage and wars. they are total libertarians. they are not like these right-wing nuts. it's stupid. by the way, amazing things happening in the polls. >> i know. >> there's no tidal wave. in iowa the republican is moving ahead. she looks like she's in good shape. in louisiana you got mary ahead. she's ahead by 6.5 votes. in north carolina you got kay hagan moving ahead. and mitch is movi

did it's right there in the the one nine hundred eighty libertarian party platform well i mean david koch ran that in one thousand nine hundred is that now so the republican platform of two thousand and fourteen i think it's the republicans we're going to see so because some respect i do agree with you that sometimes when republicans are talking about getting certain elements of medicare that's not good both for a few but the country as a whole because people want medicare and even further for the party in terms of. getting new voters but i think series so you see i don't think that a body in the republican party is one of the nine hundred eighty libertarian party platform as the platform of twenty four yeah i will agree that a recent commonwealth fund study found that the us is a lot worse than pretty much any any of the quote socialist european countries and a lot of money even socialist advances switzerland program is not even a single payer program when it comes to wait times you can see in the chart the us ranks near the bottom of countries polled in terms of the percentage of people
