Koch Brothers and Anonymous Money machine: 270+ Million in 2012

I knew the Kochs were pouring money into 2012, but even I didn't expect it to amount to what it did. According to Open Secrets, Koch-funded organizations represented one-quarter of the dark money spent in 2012. That's one-quarter of all dark money, not just conservative funding.

In 2012 alone, $301 million poured into this system -- $196 million of which was given, in the form of grants, to dark money groups that engaged in federal electioneering.

Remember this next time someone starts whining about IRS persecution. The only abuse of the system here is on the part of billionaires, not government agencies.
