40. The Koch brothers have tried to say they don't support shutdown and default.

Yet they are still funding the groups that do support it. Their philosophy has not changed.

They are still supporting ending regulation, taxes, voting rights, women's rights, public education, destruction of social security, the ACA, along with no gun or even heavier weaponry control.

They are intefering with the political process directly, and also profiting off the destruction of cities.

So we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.
