The Horror!

Huff Post says evidence ties Herman Cain to Americans for Prosperity, a grass-roots group funded in part by the Koch brothers. 

The articles states that AFP "lobbies for lower taxes and less government regulation and spending."

Oh goodness, anything but lower taxes and less government regulation and spending, please! 

The article goes on to say how Cain's ties to a group funded by rich people is dangerous because all rich people do is take away democracy (paraphrase). I speculate that the Huffington Post people would push for more regulations, at least. But only the right and just ones, of course. However, I find that interesting because the more power you give government (like in regulatory power) and as it is invested in one place, the more the "rich people" are going to lobby the government as that becomes the way to get things done. Imagine Government as a bed. The bigger you make it, the more people can hop in and dictate from it.
