Trouble brewing in paradise?

$1:

Billionaire industrialist Charles Koch, who leads a powerful policy and political network, said Sunday he worries President Donald Trump’s actions on trade and tariffs put the booming U.S. economy at risk of recession.

While saying it’s impossible to know for sure because the president’s trade policy remains fluid, Koch said the greater the level of trade restrictions, the greater the risk of severe economic fallout.

“It depends on the degree,” he said in Colorado during a rare on-the-record meeting with reporters. “If it’s severe enough, it could.”

Koch said any protectionism at any level is very detrimental. “Every nation that’s prospered is one that didn’t engage in trade wars,” he said.

Koch's foreign holdings include Georgia-Pacific, which in turn has significant holdings in Canadian softwood, and the Koch brothers own foreign steel and aluminum firms.

Meaning he's only worried about himself.

Poor bastard, he might have to get by on six billion dollars instead of eight billion.

Most likely he'll just pass on the tariff, take every new tax saving and get by on 12 billion dollars instead of 8 billion. Consumers will be the ones fucked over.
The fox guarding the hen house is good for us chickens, yup, yup.

Frankenstein is complaining because his hand-crafted monster got out of control and is rampaging across the countryside leaving nothing but death and devastation in it's wake? Tough luck for you, ain't it, buttercup?

Yep he’s just realizing Putin stole his puppet and it’s not coming back.

Should raise taxes on the super rich for the same reason.

I agree, but most of the wealthy use public services (infrastructure for example) far more than the average joe and therefore should pay far more than the average joe.

For many wealthy individuals, paying 10% more in taxes wouldn't even make a difference in their lifestyle, but it sure does when you're at the low end of the spectrum (think Luke 21:1-4 as a guide).

Not envy. At the end of the day, whether he takes home six or eight is likely irrelevant to his way of life.
