The Koch brothers, exposed by Thom Hartmann and so many others, have had a long term plan to destroy the USA for their own schemes. They've been working on it for generations. They are in a full court press to bring their candidates, like Romney, Ryan, Scott Brown, Rick Scott and Scott Walker directly into power without any more middle men:

Their co-conspirator is Grover Nordquist and he is close to achieving through ALEC and Romney, control of the USA for the next generation, in his own words:

All we have to do is replace Obama. ... We are not auditioning for fearless leader. We don't need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go. We want the Ryan budget. ... We just need a president to sign this stuff. We don't need someone to think it up or design it. The leadership now for the modern conservative movement for the next 20 years will be coming out of the House and the Senate.

Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become president of the United States. This is a change for Republicans: the House and Senate doing the work with the president signing bills. His job is to be captain of the team, to sign the legislation that has already been prepared.

Paul Ryan has been funded by the Koch brothers all along:
