“What Scott Walker is doing with the public unions in Wisconsin is critically important. He’s an impressive guy and he’s very courageous,” Koch explained in a recent conversation reported by the Palm Beach Post. “If the unions win the recall, there will be no stopping union power.”

According to the Post, Koch said of Walker: "We're helping him, as we should. We've gotten pretty good at this over the years. We've spent a lot of money in Wisconsin. We're going to spend more."

The Post added: "By 'we' he says he means Americans for Prosperity, which is spending about $700,000 on an 'It's working' television ad buy in the state."

Citizens United have screwed the pooch of democracy. Money and "god" seem to have invaded the politics of the right. Whao, woe is US.

Citizens United needs to be overturned, this is a good example where money from Koch was needed to offset the tremendous amount of money going to the Walker recall movement from labor unions

    Hi bob, Your understanding of issues is always accepted. Though predictable. So is it working people banded together or the uber-rich individuals?

    According to the Post, Koch said of Walker: “We’re helping him, as we should. We’ve gotten pretty good at this over the years. We’ve spent a lot of money in Wisconsin. We’re going to spend more.”

    The 99% will soon be voting to take their state back from the 1%. The vote ratio will be Scott Walker (Koch brothers) 2 and the 99% 198. The Koch brothers will make the media in Wisconsin very rich with their campaign ads. The Koch brothers will have absolutely nothing to show for spending all that money, Scott Walker will still be out of a job no matter how much money the Koch brothers spend on campaign ads. Wisconsin 99% I salute you. The Koch brothers with all their money will be soundly defeated and the unions will survive to help the blue collar workers.
