Where you see working class and the middle class Americans getting beaten in the head by politicians, you can expect to see the Koch brothers, David and Charles, standing near by paying for and supplying the clubs.
Yesterday, Cenk on MSNBC linked to the Wisconsin budget conflict, to the billionaire Koch brothers, who gave the current Governor, the union buster, Scott Walker, $43, 000, during his 2010 campaign.
Kock brothers owned Koch Industries "slashed jobs at plants across the country, including cutting 25% of the work force in Green Bay, Wisconsin, while the Koch brothers network" of companies' income "increased by $11 billion in the same year." The Koch-funded group, Americans for Prosperity, a Tea Party Movement money bags, "has joined the Wisconsin budget battle ... they're backing the governor's union busting agenda ... They started the website, stand with walker.com."
The Koch Brothers are funding / paying for the so-called Tea Party rally against working Americans and for busting workers unions
Lee Fang of Think Progress on Cenk's MSNBC show --This is "the same kind of perverse supply side ideology where you basically soak the middle class and the poor to reward the rich -- Koch industries has been slashing jobs, thousands of them -- at the same time they've basically given themselves, the two top executives, Charles and David, an extra $11 billion. just in the last two years. that's pretty similar to Governor Walker, who's basically given a huge tax cut to businesses in Wisconsin, while at the same time, (he is) only asking nurses and teachers to sacrifice.'(The Koch) started this website, standwithwalker ... (and through their stooges) not only (are) saying that we should end collective bargaining rights for public employees, but also private employees, and that this really radical drive by Governor Walker should be expanded across the country. (In) the past two years, (the Koch brothers) have started a group called Fight Back Wisconsin and Americans for Prosperity. They've been bussing people around, hosting tea parties. They've brought in (people to help) Walker, to help campaign for him. then this past Saturday, they bussed in tea partiers and people like Joe the Plumber, Joe Populists to support him.
"The Koch brothers ...own a lot of companies in Wisconsin. a set of power plants, pipelines, lumber mills. and interestingly enough, hidden in this budget bill, you know, we're talking about collective bargaining rights, but he, (Walker), also has a line item that allows him to sell off Wisconsin power plants basically with no bid contracts.; so it's possible there could be a quid pro quo later this year."
Those sorry suckers, the Koch Brothers and their boy, Walker, are out to hose the people from every angle.
The Koch Brothers' grand scheme is to break unions, so that they can pay American workers less. The Koch Brothers goal is to destroy unions and put the American workers at the mercy of their greedy bosses. See the video.
