You misunderstand. It's not about taxes -- they have an army of tax lawyers to dodge taxes.

It's about emasculating the Federal Govt so that they "Starve the Beast" as Reagan called it. Grover Norquist is more blunt: "Make the govt so small that it can be dragged into the bathtub and drowned.

Koch brother paid fines $20,000,000, $30,000,000, $5 million,... totalling $288,000,000.00, more than a quarter BILLION DOLLARS, and this isn't counting the $293,000,000 the jury awarded the heirs of Danielle Dawn Smalley for her negligent murder by exploding Koch pipeline.

If the govt is starved of tax income, and the treasury is emptied by unpaid wars and bailouts and stuff, then the federal cops are fired and there is no more cops on the beat to make the Koch's pay fines when they kill Americans with pollution and cancer.

Their partners also have big pots of gold to gain by overthrow of the govt. The Koch's have worked with tobacco for over 35 years. They work with every toxic polluter and poisoner in the country.

It is not about taxes. Only little people pay taxes, said Lorena Helmsley. It's about overthrow of America by a corporatist hostile takeover.

Let me help you get it straight. Ronald Reagan spilled the beans when he said out loud publicly "Starve the Beast". He meant lower income (taxes) and spend all the wealth so that the govt dies of starvation. Grover Norquist said it out loud: he wants to shrink the govt so it's small enough to drown in the bathtub. Rightwing theology is Kill America As We Know It

The goal of the 1% who owns FREEDOM GROUP that makes all the guns and ammo, is to get all the cops off the federal beat so the poison & pollution lobby can loot America unhindered by organized unarmed resistance. The Koch Industries Brothers paid more than $288,000,000.00 in EPA and Justice Department fines and remediation judgements, so it's worth a quarter billion dollars in their pockets if there are no federal cops stopping them from poisoning America. That's not even counting the $293,000,000.00 jury award that Danielle Dawn Smalley heirs for negligent homicide over the Koch gas pipeline explosion -- two thirds of a BILLION DOLLARS just two brothers of the 1% the America Wreckers won't have to pay when they overthrow democracy in America.

The term "mental illness" is sometimes interchangeably used with the word "evil", because certain types of not-normal mental processing is evil and diagnosed as a form of "insanity".

Particularly, there are definitions for each variety of "abnormal psychology" and a standard reference book (DSM-IV) which collects the definitions for standardized use across society.

The worst of the worst of the criminally "insane" is the "sociopath", so-called, or also called "psychopath", like the villains in "Silence of the Lambs" movies. The modern terminology is "ANTI-SOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDER".

It is possible for one person to have more than one problem at the same time, and sometimes that could cause misunderstanding one diagnosis for another.

In the case of Adam Lanza, he had two distinct other conditions: (1) a form of Autism, not known to induce violence, and (2) a peculiar insensitivity to feeling or pain, which may be part of sociopathy, or not, as sociopaths lack emotional empathy feelings for others being harmed by themselves.

More than the necessary three minimum symptoms of sociopathy can be found in Adam Lanza's final week. Whatever else was going on, sociopathy was part of it, probably the dominating central part of it.

Learning a bit about "sociopathy" is useful in any understanding of what happened and how to avoid similar from happening next time.
