A columnist in Pennsylvania reports that the billionaire Koch brothers are disappointed by Governor Tom Corbett.
They feel that he didn’t push his voucher bill hard enough, so they are planning a major advertising campaign to put pressure on legislators.
There is no reason for them to pay attention to the unimpressive results of twenty-one years of vouchers in Milwaukee, where kids in voucher schools got no better test scores than their peers in public schools. And no reason to pay attention to vouchers in D.C., where there were no test scores gains in either math or reading.
What matters most is to break the public education system.

Money is not good or bad. It is what you do with it. The two libertarian brothers prefer to destroy whatever they can so as to privatize and profit from.

Will they also try to find a replacement for Corbett in the next election since he just didn’t get their assignment completed with an A+ grade?

This is what happens when I read a headline too quickly….I though it read “Colbert” as in Stephen Colbert. But this isn’t a stretch since the Kochs went after comedic actor Zach Galifianakis
The right-wing fundraisers with a combined wealth of $50 billion fired back at Galifianakis after the 42-year-old funnyman, who stars alongside Will Ferrell in the upcoming political satire “The Campaign,” called them “creepy” in an interview with the NY Daily News.
The Koch brothers retaliated, “His comments, which appear to be based on false attacks made by our political opponents, demonstrate a lack of understanding of our longstanding support of individual freedom, freedom of expression and constitutional rights.”
But Galifianakis, whose uncle was a North Carolina congressman, is no political neophyte.
“I’m big into politics,” he told the Daily News. “What I don’t understand is why they bother trying to influence people. I hope the Koch brothers see this movie, but they probably don’t go to movies.”

What’s even better are the comments attached to this article which are usually pretty conservative in nature. Instead people are upset with the likes of the Koch Bros. trying to buy government.

They don’t use public schools, so why should they pay for them?
It’s the classic “libertarian” delusion that glorifies selfishness above all else.
