The Koch family has connections to the far right. There father was a founding member of the John Birch Society, an organization dedicated to the destruction of American democracy and a twisted concept of liberty as the right of the "strong" to oppress the rest of us. They are enemies of the American people and spend their money, of which they obviously have too much, fighting to keep us in what they see as our "place." They are the most powerful men in America and responsible for racist voter ID laws, funding of the global-warming-is-a-hoax hoax, and a law in Oklahoma taxing homeowners who install solar panels. They vitually control the state governments of Wisconsin and North Carolina, and have purchased undue influence in other states. They have lobbied congressional Republicans to shut down the government and even to keep it shut down after Republican congressmen saw that the shutdown had recoiled on them.
