    Koch Brothers exposed

    The Koch Brothers are bad news.They go to a place (Wisconsin)and start throwing money to interest groups that are acting as fronts for governor Scott Walker.I think the Koch Brothers are violating tax laws.There is something inherntly wrong when a political system allows a politician (Walker)to approach someone or entity,in this case the Koch Brothers and in short says the majority of citizens in my state want me out of office and I need your financial support just to stay in office. It is a brave new world when rich wealthy interest's can cause some much havoc in a place like Wisconsin and keep someone as inept and dishonest as Walker in office.
