    Nothing here but the empty-headed rants of a right-wing socialist.

    I didn't say anything about meetings. But you won't find the uses for fund on AFP's website. It's a 501c4. They hide behind that.

    501c4's are not exclusive to the Koch Brothers.

    Who they support is pretty well known, considering they don't lock out people from their meetings. They are required to file IRS reports, so the totals involved aren't secret.

    So, again, why do you keep voting for more government? I agree, voting for Trump is voting for more government. Is your candidate pushing for less government? I doubt it.

    Big government doesn't exist for the people. It never does. What you want is to command and control people to follow your preferences and then you scratch you head and wonder why other people have different ideas of command and control.

    How about just leaving people alone? You are no better than Commie Donnie at that.
