But who's really representing the Dark Side here? The truth is that the
billionaire brothers bankrolling the conservative movement are using their
wealth in a way that should be terrifying to anyone who thinks democracy
is about more than pulling a lever every two years and letting rich folks
take care of the rest.
.
Accordingly, here are 10 facts that every American should know about who
the Kochs are and what they're doing to our country.
.
1. Koch Industries, which the brothers own, is one of the top ten
polluters in the United States - which perhaps explains why the Kochs have
given $60 million to climate denial groups between 1997 and 2010.
.
2. The Kochs are the oil and gas industry's biggest donors to the
congressional committee with oversight of the hazardous Keystone XL oil
pipeline. They and their employees gave more than $300,000 to members of
the House Energy and Commerce Committee in 2010 alone.
.
3. From 1998-2008, Koch-controlled foundations gave more than $196 million
to organizations that favor polices that would financially enrich the two
brothers. In addition, Koch Industries spent $50 million on lobbying and
some $8 million in PAC contributions.
.
4. The Koch fortune has its origins in engineering contracts with Joseph
Stalin's Soviet Union.
.
5. The Kochs are suing to take over the Cato Institute, which has accused
the Kochs of attempting to destroy the group's identity as an independent,
libertarian think and align it more closely with a partisan agenda.
.

.
That last quote - "I want my fair share, and that's all of it" -
encapsulates the unbridled greed driving the Kochs' political activism and
business dealings.
