Charles Koch Whines About His Oppression By Those In Power

Click here for an article in Salon by Elias Asquith entitled "Charles Koch blasts “collectivists” in Wall Street Journal op-ed." In a piece entitled "True Believer" by Digby at Hullabaloo, in quotes from the article, Koch twice refers to "those in power":
The central belief and fatal conceit of the current administration is that you are incapable of running your own life, but those in power are capable of running it for you.
And:
Those in power fail to see that more government means less liberty, and liberty is the essence of what it means to be American.
Digby's comment:
It always amuses me to see billionaires talk about "those in power" as if it's someone other than themselves. I'd love to see Charles Koch have to spend a month in the life of a secretary who works in one of his offices. Then let's see what he thinks about "power" and "freedom" and who has it and who doesn't.
