@csuwildcat a.) corruption is bad and getting worse. b.) that you seemed to have missed the time scales. Koch's outspent top 5 in 5 years!!!1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@csuwildcat ummm...i think you've missed the point. Money corrupts democracy. Untraceable money moreso. The Kochs are merely the very worst1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@slightlylate Koch brothers' giving untracked money is not in dispute. I dispute your claim of "worst" given the known-contribution ranks.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
