The Dark Money Machine (infographic from OpenSecrets.org)



Note what it says at the bottom:

"More than $170 million in federal political spending more than $86 million of which can be attributed to donor groups in the Koch network...The $86 million alone surpassed the combined federal political spending of all unions and liberal 501(c)(4)s in 2012 by more than $30 million."

The Grand Old Psychopath party can grouse if they want about "big, bully union thugs" outspending them in elections. IT. DOES. NOT. HAPPEN. As with everything they say, their claims are utter bullshit.
