Koch brothers want to correct a misconception

...................................................................................................................................................................
In Case You Missed It: Money is speech, and the Koch brothers are in a chatty mood
By Rob Thomas, May 13, 2014

Quote of the Day:
“We consistently see that Americans in general are concerned that free-market policy — and its advocates — benefit the rich and powerful more than the most vulnerable of society. We must correct this misconception.”
— a memo from Americans For Prosperity, the primary political arm of the Koch Brothers
Gosh, where would folks have gotten the "misconception" that upper-income tax breaks and holding down the minimum wage primarily help the rich? Well, the Kochs plan to spend $125 million to explain that away this year, so good luck with that.
