Step One: Get Money Out of Politics

Koch Brothers plan to spend $889 million to buy their own Sock Puppet



"The political network led by industrialists Charles and David Koch plans to spend $889 million for the 2016 elections. In modern politics, it's more than just a ton of money."

"It's about as much as the entire national Republican Party spent in the last presidential election cycle, four years ago."

"It's double what the Koch brothers and their network spent in 2012."

"No other outside money operation matches the Koch network in funding or organizational breadth."

An inherently corrupt society that systematically ignores conflict of interest and assumes everyone and everything should be for sale, has a hard lesson to learn.
