Their objectives are not even remotely the same,...And you know that.

You are absolutely right about the Koch brothers, Bob. They are fine people and should be viewed universally as great American success stories.

The Kochs owned a mining company years ago that operated in Floyd County. Their company representatives were a pleasure to deal with. Their companies are well managed and they treat their employees very well. The Kochs employ 100,000 people, 60,000 of whom work in the U.S.

My primary contact with Koch when I worked in the coal industry suffered from cystic fibrosis and was awaiting on a lung transplant. I recall discussing his situation and the benefits that Koch offered its employees, and the dishonest smears against the Kochs made by liberals in this country is shameful.

George Soros is a slime ball who is a free man only because of his wealth. Soros manipulates markets and currencies with total disregard of the consequences to working people.

Equating Soros to the Koch brothers simply because they actively support a political agenda is naive, IMO. The Koch brothers have always pursued policies that benefit their companies and employees, but they have never sought to wreck a country's economy for personal gain. Soros is as close to an evil genius as there is in this world.
