David Koch tries to have three seniors arrested outside his mansion in Palm Beach, which won't let him build a wall around his property



Via alternet comes this post by Robert Greenwald,
...To personify income inequality, we filmed three Florida seniors picnicking outside David Koch’s home and asking David’s security guards if they could talk to David one-on-one about why he wants to cut their minimal Social Security income. These seniors couldn’t understand why, with $42 billion and seven homes, the Koch brothers wanted to dismember Social Security and their fixed incomes.
     David’s staff didn’t merely say “no” to the seniors’ request, they called the cops on them. And, we would find out after we left Florida in March, that David began unlawfully building a fence around his home — the $27 million, 25,000 square-foot landmark Villa el Sarmiento.
     David Koch thinks he can flout laws barring trade with Iran and he can violate property laws in Palm Beach. He can’t change his landmark property without applying for the necessary permits. He is the wealthiest resident of Palm Beach and the second most wealthy New Yorker. Despite his best efforts, David Koch can’t break laws on a whim.
