Matt, I don't think the distribution of your 35 bucks and/or mine is going to strike a heck of a lot of fear into the Koch Bros.' hearts. (I know, big anatomical assumption there.) I'd just as soon use my paltry funds to keep the Fed alive on life support until the atmosphere improves. Not to mention that the conservatives might find it annoying, so there's entertainment value.
