How Democrats expertly apply the five key principles of the Koch Brothers’ business
TheBlaze Books ^ | 2014-10-09 | Benjamin Weingarten

In 2007, Charles Koch, CEO of Koch Industries, Inc., published a book titled “The Science of Success: How Market-Based Management Built the World’s Largest Private Company,” laying out five principles that comprise his market-based management philosophy, to which he attributes the exponential growth of Koch Industries.

As political observers are likely aware, the success of Koch Industries has enabled the Kochs to spend millions of dollars funding libertarian ideological initiatives and Republican political campaigns, something Democrats are not enamored of. Sen. Harry Reid most famously has attacked the Kochs — using them as a caricature for the villainous one percent seeking to subvert democracy by using their riches to elect candidates who will implement an “extremist” free market agenda, presumably to enrich themselves on the backs of the poor.

What does “The Science of Success” have to do with the Democrats?

In an ironic twist, in looking at the Koch principles and the success of the Democratic party at the national level, one could argue that Harry Reid’s Democrats themselves are expert practitioners of the very principles that the Kochs have applied to such great success in industry.

Democrats have success for one and only one reason. They control the information. Control the information, you control the populace.

The demoncraps don’t control radio. In fact, they suck big at radio.

Yes, one could.

One could argue that Harry Reid’s Democrats themselves are expert practitioners of the very principles the Kochs Saul Alinsky outlined in "Rules for Radicals".
