Koch brothers network rules out anti-Clinton ads

The powerful political network helmed by Charles and David Koch is ruling out running advertisements intended to hurt Hillary Clinton, another sign of their insistence on avoiding the presidential race.

The Koch network has previously said they will not back Republican candidate Donald Trump, but on Saturday officials told reporters that they would not run negative Clinton spots, a position taken by some Republican groups that are uneasy with the controversial GOP standard-bearer.

The group is laser-focused on maintaining and expanding the Senate majority -- in the midst of a $42 million television advertising campaign focused on a half-dozen states -- and would only use Clinton to bash Senate Democratic hopefuls.

"Our perspective is the same: We're focused on the Senate," Mark Holden, a top Koch network official, told reporters. "We have no intention to go after Donald Trump."

The Kochs are effectively indifferent between Trump and Clinton.

Time to cut off all these globalists corporate welfare and subsidies at the taxpayers expense.

Corporate welfare is extra money for the corporations who are "connected" to the power elite.
Cutting it off will do nothing to stop the globalists from enslaving us.
But I agree that it should have never existed in the first place.
