The Koch Brothers & Big Political Money

America’s mega-rich conservative Koch brothers hold a private political money round-up. We look again at money politics.

Agenda-driven money is all over American politics now, and everybody complains.

Conservatives howl about George Soros’s money. Budget cutters complain about unions. Republicans say President Obama will raise a billion dollars for his re-election campaign, even as their candidates grab for cash.

But for private money influence, it’s hard to top the ultra-conservative Koch Brothers, David and Charles. Oil men.  Chemical industry. Libertarians. They're moving millions and millions into shaping America’s future.

We look at the Koch brothers’ money — and America’s future.
