The Koch brothers’ political operation intends to spend $889 million in the run-up to the 2016 elections, according to an attendee at the operation’s annual winter donor gathering in the California dessert.

The spending goal, shared with donors at a Monday morning session at the Rancho Mirage Ritz Carlton, reflects the sweeping ambition of a private conservative political network that in many ways has eclipsed the power of the official Republican Party.

The $889 million spending goal dwarfs the $404 million the Republican National Committee spent during the 2012 election and the $188 million it dropped during last year’s midterm campaign.

Free speech is what freedom is all about. And, as the Supreme Court reminded us, money equals speech. Your speech should be limited only by how much you can earn or inherit.

Don't forget Unions.

Then on the other side.. the Chamber of Commerce.

And then there is the fact that these rich fucks (both sides) beg us for money so they can get a job, then tell us what to do.

Three words.

Lifelong. Presidential. Pension.

It's like fucking 175-225 grand a year, depending on Executive Level 1 Personnel salary rates, since the pension shifts with the pay rates.

Dead broke, puhLEEZ. Being ex-president is fucking awesome.
