63 Documents the Government Doesn't Want To Read, by Jesse Ventura: on Corporations


Jesse Ventura: Unlimited secret cash from corporations influences elections

Ever since the Supreme Court decided last year (Citizens United v. FEC) to override Congress and allow unlimited secret cash from corporations--and even foreign governments--to influence American elections, following the money has gotten difficult. One mega-player, though, that we've found out a lot about is Koch Industries.

The Koch Brothers, Charles & David from Wichita, Kansas, are each worth more than $21.5 billion. Charles has come right out and admitted that their major goal is to eliminate 90% of all laws and government regulations, so as to further the "culture of prosperity." The Kochs are the biggest funder of right-wing front groups in the country.

Twice a year they bring together all the wealthy donors to talk about their game plan. A website called ThinkProgress somehow got hold of a memo that outlines what happened the last time Koch and company got together for a secret election-planning meeting, in June 2010.
