Koch vs. Stern, Trumka, SEIO, and AFL-CIO

The entrepreneur liberals most like to malign, Charles Koch, provides a very clear exposition here of the effects of crony capitalism.  Mr Koch's company is a hugh family owned, world wide conglomerate in the energy industry.  His company and others like it are the engines of our economy's success.  Mr. Obama should be inviting the likes of the Koch family members to visit the White House for lunch on a regular basis in order to pick their brains on how his policies are helping the economy.  Instead he demonizes them, accuses them of damaging the environment, exploiting the workforce, greed, and on and on.  Instead of inviting the Koch brothers, Obama invites Andrew Stern, and Richard Trumka, leading labor organizers in the country in order, presumably, to help him unionize more companies along the lines of the automobile industry.  Lest we forget, the bulk of the blame for the failure of Detroit has been the result of excessive wages and work rules, both union driven. Four more years of Obama means four more years of the Stern/Trumka policies and four more years of economic stagnation.  We're headed for a replay of the '30's when it took 11 years to get unemployment under 15%.  This is patently unfair to younger generations.  To create wealth and jobs we need a return to pure capitalism.
