“I’m an old-school journalist, I say follow the money. Because the greatest beneficiaries of their operations are the plutocrats that don’t want to pay any taxes and they don’t want any public services to the rest of us that cost them taxes, such as public schools, public roads, public libraries, public health. So they want to hold on to as much money as they can. Now the problem, when you run for office on that platform, as David Koch did in 1980 for vice president on a libertarian platform, nobody votes for you. Because they say why should we vote against having public health and public libraries. So what they do is come up with all of these distracting issues like trans kids using bathrooms that affect next to nobody in the entire country, and inflate them into national issues to distract people. And then once they get into power, as they did with Trump, they rewrite the tax code to benefit the plutocrats at the expense of everyone else.”
