Huge series of articles above in the Milwaukee paper on Bradley and how (like Koch, Scaife, Walton, Adelson, Olin) Bradley has purchased the Wisconsin GOP and used media to stoke hate against Democrats.

And get this -- their ultimate goal is to destroy the government to cut taxes on the rich. Who would have thought billionaires would have created a non-profit to do that??
