“Stop the Greed Agenda” Bus Tour Exposes Koch Brothers’ Link to Prop 32
The notorious right-wing ideologues David and Charles Koch are some of the biggest spenders in American politics, dropping millions upon millions to buy elections and influence politicians all across the country. So why would they suddenly throw $4 million into Prop 32, a proposition that claims to “stop special interest money” from flooding politics?
Simple -- because they know it’s a sham and that will silence the voice of workers while giving more power to corporate special interests. And this is exactly what the Koch brothers want. If they succeed in silencing our voice, the floodgates will open up even wider for billionaires like them to spend without limits and push their “greed agenda”-- with the sole purpose of putting even more money into their loaded bank accounts, at the expense of our education, our jobs, our communities and our economy.
That’s precisely what brought the “Stop the Greed Agenda” bus tour to California this week. Sponsored by Patriot Majority USA, the 23-state tour aims to educate communities around the nation about the Koch Brothers and other corporate special interests that spend billions pursuing their “greed agenda,” which centers around more tax breaks for billionaires and corporations that outsource our jobs, while cutting vital protections and programs for working-class Americans.
