Americans for Prosperity Announces Legislative Agenda, Mirrors Koch Industries’ Corporate Wishlist
AFP is pretty much the Koch boys' personal propaganda and lobbying outfit.
I have bolded agenda items contrary to the interests of non-rich Americans.
Other items, however inadvertently, are congruent with those interests.
At the National Press Club yesterday, AFP president Tim Phillips and several officers with the group laid out their agenda.
The group is calling for legalizing crude oil exports, a repeal of the estate tax, approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, blocking any hike in the gas tax, a tax holiday on corporate profits earned overseas, blocking the EPA’s new rules on carbon emissions from coal-burning power plants, and a repeal of the Affordable Care Act, along with a specific focus on the medical device tax.
A lesson in political realism in more than one sense and in the particular egoism of those who, far more than others, use such power and wealth as they have to get more power and wealth.
Always more.
