Why Does The Left Demonize The Koch Brothers? Because They Promote More Freedom And Less Government..

In his article in the Wall Street Journal, Charles Koch lays out his Libertarian vision of America.  Why is the left so afraid of Libertarianism?  Because Socialism depends on force to exist, Libertarianism is the opposite of force, it is free will and choice.

An except of Charles Koch's article:

I have devoted most of my life to understanding the principles that enable people to improve their lives. It is those principles—the principles of a free society—that have shaped my life, my family, our company and America itself.

Unfortunately, the fundamental concepts of dignity, respect, equality before the law and personal freedom are under attack by the nation's own government. That's why, if we want to restore a free society and create greater well-being and opportunity for all Americans, we have no choice but to fight for those principles. I have been doing so for more than 50 years, primarily through educational efforts. It was only in the past decade that I realized the need to also engage in the political process.

A truly free society is based on a vision of respect for people and what they value. In a truly free society, any business that disrespects its customers will fail, and deserves to do so. The same should be true of any government that disrespects its citizens. The central belief and fatal conceit of the current administration is that you are incapable of running your own life, but those in power are capable of running it for you. This is the essence of big government and collectivism.
