USA Today Reported ("retweeted" actually, if you stop to think about it: "The chairman and chief executive of Koch Industries, in a Washington Post op-ed, wrote: “The senator is upset with a political and economic system that is often rigged to help the privileged few at the expense of everyone else, particularly the least advantaged. He believes that we have a two-tiered society that increasingly dooms millions of our fellow citizens to lives of poverty and hopelessness. He thinks many corporations seek and benefit from corporate welfare while ordinary citizens are denied opportunities and a level playing field.

“I agree with him,” he wrote.

    On the issue of corporate cronyism, both Sanders and Koch are correct in identifying that there is too much of it. Where Sanders errors, as all Democrats, Socialists, and Communists error, is in the remedy.

    "Washington Post was in and of itself a dead giveaway that something was rotten."
    Regardless of what website it's on, it was written by Charles Koch and contains the line "I agree with [Sanders]." He goes on to say how he agrees with Sanders on criminal justice issues but disagrees with "with [Sander's] desire to expand the federal government’s control over people’s lives."

      True but the way things are written the headline has the most impact and a blanket statement which multiple paragraphs later turns out to be only a small part of the whole is misleading....

      In that case Trump should headline all of his with I agree with Adolf and Uncle Joe....the impact level is similar. even thought it IS NOT TRUE and thee are far more similarities. If you are wondering what we are talking about my first comment is contained in the preceding comment which is just as wishy washy IMNSHO

      And I'm not a Cruz supporter unless he proves himself to be of some use to the 56% of disenfranchised citizens but i suspect he too far to the left and already been sucked into the system.

      Instead of a leader we get another vote toilet
