The Koch brothers the billionaire plutocrats and GOP mega-donors network of organizations are railing against President Trumps tariffs on China to protect American workers and U.S. industry. This month, Trump hiked tariffs to 25 percent on about $200 billion worth of Chinese manufactured goods. Trump has also ordered trade officials to begin reviewing the process of increasing tariffs to 25 percent on an additional $300 billion worth of Chinese goods.

They are every bit as evil as Soros.
I want income taxes eliminated.

The disingenuous “free trade” agenda.

They are all rich men trying to obtain power. What they label themselves does not matter.
The financiers of the Cheap Labor Express, importing the workers for the jobs that can’t be exported.
There is no such thing as “Free Trade”, they may call it that, but that doesn’t make it so.
Koch Brothers: We must be able to export jobs and American industry to China.
As bad as Soros.
So, do they make money from China- or are they being blackmailed?
Someone should look into it.
China is big on getting ‘the goods’ on important people.
Agreed.
They want that cheap goods from China.
Yup. The globalists come in all types, but all all greedy.
Maybe more so.These guys are American.
