I looked up the "Beltway Pundit" (unbiased continual Obama bashing) and read the article. This stood out: "Over the past twenty five years, from 1989 to 2014, Koch Industries has donated $18,083,948 in political contributions to Republicans. "
Here is why: " the CRP only shows disclosed and direct campaign contributions made by organizations, companies and individuals. On that level, the Kochs only show up as #59 overall for the past 25 years and contributed a total of $4.9 million in the previous election cycle. However, when you take into account all of the ‘dark’ money that the Kochs spent during the 2012 election, that figure balloons to a whopping $412 million. In comparison, the top ten labor unions combined spent a total of $153 million when counting all political contributions." They are currently sitting on $900 million. 
This is why Republicans are in trouble. They still defend the rich who robbed them of a fair shake.
