HARRY REID REALLY CAN'T STAND THE KOCH BROTHERS
By Dain Fitzgerald, February 1, 2014
Liberal distress emanating from the pair known as the Koch brothers is no laughing matter - except in the movies - as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid affirmed Thursday when he accused the billionaires of attempting to purchase America outright.
"Because of a United States Supreme Court decisions called Citizens United, there's been some really untoward stuff going on in the political world," said Reid. "We have two [Koch] brothers who are actually trying to buy the country."
Reid elaborated on the strategy of David Koch and brother Charles to masquerade as do-gooders when they're anything but:
The Koch brothers hide all their campaign efforts. They disguise themselves with rare exception as social welfare organizations, with all these fancy names going after people who are trying to improve the country.According to Open Secrets, Koch Industries is #37 on its list of "Top Overall Donors." Even the National Beer Wholesalers Association comes out ahead at #15. But where the NBWA gives 44% of its political contributions to Democrats and 56% to Republicans, the Koch brothers give a whopping 99% of their influence-buying to the GOP.
That of course is what's really bugging Reid.
