The U.S. Supreme Koch
On the eve of the second anniversary of the much-despised Citizens United ruling, activists with the Other 98% and Backbone Campaign put a giant dollar sign light projection, along with a few other messages, on the Supreme Court building to protest the ruling that undermined government of, by and for the actual people by defining corporations as people and money as speech.
Two years ago, the Citizens United ruling opened the floodgates to secretive and unlimited corporate political contributions and permitted far-right special interests like billionaires David and Charles Koch to wield undue influence over the Court and U.S. politics.
Watch this video… this is great! And the music only adds to it.

“The Kochs and their kind are engaged in a hostile corporate takeover of our nation’s political system,” said John Sellers, co-founder of The Other 98%. “We’ve come to the scene of the crime today – the U.S. Supreme Court – to tell the justices exactly what we think of the infamous Citizens United ruling that made that takeover possible.”
On the second anniversary of the much-despised Citizens United ruling, protesters gathered at the Supreme Court and unfurled a large banner reading “U.S. Supreme Koch” to protest the undue influence that far-right special interests and billionaires like the Koch brothers wield over the Court and U.S. politics.

Have you ever read about Fred Koch, the father of these pricks, was buddy, buddy with George Prescott Bush? Also along with Welch founded the John Birch Society.
I have read (but not in depth) about several of these ties. Isn’t there something about George Prescott Bush having some ties to Hitler?
That is true about Koch & Hitler, and also George P. Bush too..
I thought I had seen that. One of these days I will take the time to really search and read more about it.
Not ties exactly, but he did continue to do business with Hitler even after the US forbade any American business to do so, and throughout the war. Money is money, and it doesn’t matter to some whether you get it from the enemy or not.
That is very true when it comes to money. Thanks!
