It's widely documented that the Koch Brothers rank at around 58 on the list of donors. Out numbered by at least 10 Unions.

This thread should be posted in Conspiracy Theories!!!
Y'know 5 below...one can go out of one's way to make a lucid point and just wait patiently for you to provide some cretinous distraction...sooner or later, there it is.

The sucker is you...gullible to the end in your belief that the Koch brothers are somehow looking out for you and your fellow nitwit neocons, when the Koch brothers are not looking out for anybody but the Koch brothers. The Koch brothers would sit in their Maybach 62S and gleefully watch you starve to death.

Added to that is an astronomical amount of dark money from their partners in crime.

Is it any wonder that Darryl Issa has such a big fat hard on for the IRS? The plutoc-rats have been using this giant loophole in the tax law governing 501c4 corps as a shield to hide how much influence a small group of ultra wealthy donors are exerting on elections in this country. Issa's mission is to forestall any reconsideration of the Republican reinterpretation of the law. As written 501c4 law states only social welfare is allowed by these organizations. In the 1950s there was a Republican administrative rewrite that allowed them to use 49% of the black money they receive to sway elections.

As to these ultra wealthy top 1%? Of course they want something in return, after all they are businessmen first and foremost and it's all in the bottom line for these people. You can bet your last bottom dollar that they will be pulling the strings for as long as we allow it to continue.

-5..... It's probably a good thing the others have you on ignore.
I'm thinking your last link would give them reason to rip your logic to pieces.

(Hint; it's usually not a good idea to post a link that supports a viewpoint you are opposing).

Hi Barbara,

It's not opposing as the goal for me but the truth and balance. One can't point there fingers at others all the while supporting the same thing elsewhere.

Cheers
