Daily Kos: Slave Labor - The Koch/ALEC Connection to imprison and take jobs now seen by others

Daily Kos: Slave Labor - The Koch/ALEC Connection to imprison and take jobs now seen by others

"Jump to the present and we now have ALEC and their members/supporters Koch Industries and others affiliated with both, firmly supporting Wisconsin's Governor Walker's initiatives to bust Unions in that state. Over the past couple of days it was discovered that Koch contributed $43,000 to Walker's campaign and again here comes the quid pro quo in the form of attacking fair wages and collective bargaining. As with the "help" provided to Sebilius in Kansas, there always comes a pay day or day of reckoning where such "help" requires a repayment. Over the past two weeks that payday for Koch brothers has arrived in Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia, Montana and elsewhere. They have sown the seeds of corporatocracy wisely over the past decade or more and sat back calmly and watched those seeds grow into strong vibrant and insidious weeds, spreading out and choking the life out of workers jobs and livelihoods across the United States."
