How The Koch Brothers Use Florida Gulf Coast University To Promote Their Agenda
At Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, every student who majors in economics and finance gets a copy of Ayn Rand’s novel, Atlas Shrugged…FGCU now has a core group of a half dozen economists whose research supports the ideas of free-market capitalism, still an unpopular subject in most faculty lounges. They teach this material to more than 250 economics and finance students (one class is titled “The Moral Foundations of Capitalism”), organize lectures by leading thinkers, publish their research in well-respected journals and hold influential positions in groups that promote free markets.

You DO realize that about 75% of the billionaires in the US are Democrats, right???

Totally free market Capitalism has never and will never work. This is all a part of the globalism package which translated means cheap foreign labor to produce then sold to those who have the means to buy it. That's where the whole proposition hits a dead end.

I should of also stated that Koch bros are one of the main reasons this stood out to me.





"A massive Koch donation to Florida State University’s economics program generated significant controversy in 2011 when it came to light that the donation was accompanied by de facto Koch control over some hiring decisions and the ability to review the scholarship generated. As of February 2013, 129 colleges and universities around the country were receiving Koch Family Foundations support."

This is a very good thing. Bravo for the Koch brothers, and thanks to them for helping educate our future leaders.
