Liberals know that the Koch brothers basically own the right-wing of America right now, and are even more powerful, financially speaking, than the Republican National Committee. Right wing voters seem either unaware, or happy with this fact so long as their paid-for politicians keep singing the “small-government, we hate gays, control the women, and screw the poor” song that the right is so fond of.
But anyone who has been paying attention knows that the Kochs’ libertarian ideals are failing big time in states like Louisiana, Kansas, and Wisconsin. Despite their failings, their governors stay the course and show no signs of letting up. They call their massive failures ‘successes’ and keep trying to convince the public that their course is the best course.
Now the Kochs have promised nearly a billion dollars to the war chest of the right-wing candidate for the 2016 election, and will financially steer the GOP primaries to make sure the presidential candidate is as far right as possible. It’s more important than ever to know exactly what kind of America the Koch’s want to buy.
