The Koch Brothers’ New Brand
- Turbots 11y agoNo discussion... people just don't care it seems.. that's why they're getting away with it
- AstroJetson 11y agoThe book this article is about " Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right by Jane Mayer" is amazing and a little depressing. The funding that is behind the PAC/Super-PAC is very scary, it's a tidal wave of cash. I've always assumed since day one of American politics that cash has been a player. I never assumed that it's as big as portrayed. I'm really starting to rethink my choice of IT and not becoming a political operative.

They genuinely see it as a free market thing, and that if people think it's so bad they'll use their money to fix the problem, and if they're right, the market dictates they'll win. They also see their lunchtime as a free market problem. They see departments interacting with other departments as a free market problem, where one department has to pay the other for its time. They think the historically largest government programs should have been private market funded... "if they were that important to society people would fund it."
