The Koch Brothers and their attack on America
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."
