    That the Koch brothers donate to universities has nothing to do with the economy or inequality. Your position is one someone like Alex Jones would take, that everything is a big conspiracy with the Koch brothers as the boogeyman.

    The Fed has contributed to inequality for decades. They’ve especially contributed this past decade with low interest rates and the three rounds of QE.

    I understand it’s far easier to blame George Soros or the Koch Brothers if you don’t know better.

    They don’t need to wait to be taxed.

    Absolutely wrong. The article explained it, I have been reading about this for years. It started when I tried to see what some southern schools thought about climate change. Some of them were adamantly against science. That is when I found the results were preordained by the Kochs. https://truthout.org/articles/charle...s-for-profits/

    This doesn't address the Fed or inequality. And if you're turning to truthout for your economic news you are looking in the wrong place.

    I don’t blame the Koch brothers. Soros is to blame for funding anti-Anerican groups in an effort to destabilize our economy and our country.

    Low interest rates help the wealthy and allow them to expand and start new businesses and hire more workers which helps everyone.

    I’m surprised that you don’t know better.

    Man up.

    Creating asset bubbles is not a benefit to the overall economy as we've clearly seen over the past handful of decades as well as recently with the housing bubble in the aught's and the post recession economy.
