For My Friends Who Said That Citizens United Ruling Hadn't Had Any Effect Yet.

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/22/us/22koch.html?smid=fb-nytimes&WT.mc_id=US-SM-E-FB-SM-LIN-KBM-022211-NYT-NA&WT.mc_ev=click

It has had a huge effect. These guys bought Scott Walker's governorship. Now they are quite openly and directly attacking the working classes, a great deal of whom voted for Walker like blind children. The idea that Walker, as reported on Fox "News", is only carrying out his announced agenda, is ludicrous. Using a sweeping generalization like "balancing the budget" doesn't allow a public official the right to use said language as an umbrella under which the official (and his financiers) can group all sinister schemes. I had better be careful with my language; an assault on free speech cannot be far behind...not to be a Chicken Little, but the sky IS falling, and we are all screwed.
