The Koch Brothers and their attack on America

[iamtechus]

Get to the root of everything that seems to be going wrong in America and you'll find a trail of crumbs leading to the Koch Bros. They sponsor whole political parties and fund candidates whose mission it is to destroy our democracy.

Aljazeera hosts a textual report and a video detailing their attack on America. Be sure to watch the video.

"In the 2010 congressional elections, the Kochs and their partners spent at least $40m, helping to swing the balance of power in the US House of Representatives towards right-wing Tea Party Republicans. It has been reported that the Kochs are planning to raise and spend more than $200m to defeat Obama in 2012. But the brothers could easily kick in more without anyone knowing due to loopholes in US law."

Koch Industries owns Brawny paper towels, Dixie cups, Georgia-Pacific lumber, Stainmaster carpet, and Lycra, among other products. Ironic the ad popped up with this story!
