Koch brothers and environmental regulations

The Koch brothers masquerade as advocates of  private property and free markets against intrusive environmental regulations.   But there is no "free market" property right to pollute.
 If I fling my dog's poop into your yard, I am violating your property rights.   If I am fined or arrested, it is not a sign of too much government, but just the right amount of government to protect those rights.    

By buying off  politicians, the Koch brothers are not protecting property rights against big government, they are using government to protect their own financial interest in messing up your property rights and health.

This clip from the film Exposed shows the consequences.  People in Wisconsin should note that reduced environmental regulations are one of the goals of the Koch supported Walker administration.
