The value of liquiation

Was reading about the Koch brothers and their supposed plans to let the poor people get sick and die off so they can enjoy their tea parties and golf tournaments w/o distraction.
That may very well be what the Koch brothers want.  I cannot say what they want any more so than they can say what I want.  If everybody cared about each other and put love and compassion for their fellow man before blind ambition, i.e.: money and/or power, then minimum wage being abolished would of no negative consequence.  If The Devil walked up to you, would you smile politely and let it shake your hand?  Likewise, people who rejoice in evil should not be elected into office, regardless of their political affiliation.  The fact of the matter is both Bernie Sanders and the Koch brothers-funded Republicans are both more concerned with money and power less with the real problems that face the USA.
The perceived problem with having the Koch brothers funding congress is not something anybody is immune to.  The vast majority of USA citizens would not wage war on the poor.  But that is only because if they spent every waking minute from birth to death squeezing as many dollars as they can from their employer, their work would still not be finished.  Their bones would be buried and hunger will continue to haunt them.  The Koch brothers have more money than they can count.  They have the freedom to say "Ok, What now?"  They have what every human on the face of the earth wants, they have shiny pretty things and the guarantee that the most comfortable bed money can buy will not be repossessed.  Now what?  What does one do when their life's work is finished before they're halfway in the grave?  Do they turn their back on their amazing house and bounty of pretty things so they can work in a soup kitchen or fly over ghettos with their private jet and assess which homes need food and how much food they need?
Very few people work 8+ hours a day for the purpose of anything other than acquiring an arsenal of stuff.  The Koch Bros. have stuff.  They have mental and physical health and they have all the stuff they can imagine wanting AND extra to give to their great grandchildren.  They have moved on from the rat race and are now focused on something equally pointless and gigantic in scope: World Domination.
It's about power.  All of it.  The rat race, even the participants who eat from the backend of it, have one thing and one thing only in mind: Power.  Call it a man-cave, call it freedom of choice, call it "my house my rules", it all amounts to the same thing: Conquering.  It may not be conquering much, but it's still conquering.
I don't know nearly as much about the presidential front runners as I ought to, but I know the likelyhood that anyone running for the high offices is doing so primarily with intent to help other people, be it inside or outside of "America"(The United States Of).
