Koch Bros. for Higher Taxes (on Their Competitors)

Just as the Koch Bros. pulled the strings on the allegedly anti-tax Republicans, getting them to repeal tax breaks on ethanol--that is, to increase taxes--the oil-industry Kochs are battling lower taxes for the natural gas industry, in an intra-power elite fight with T. Boone Pickens. Fun to see the oligarchical cage match, though Politico, in good Kochian tradition, describes opposition to tax credits and deductions as free-market "purism"! Need I mention that Ron Paul, unlike most Republicans, is always against raising taxes, and is for all "loopholes"? Loophole: the notion that the state owns all your income, and anything you are allowed to keep is slightly unethical.
