Who was the principle financiers of Wisconsin's Republican Governor, now embroiled in a controversial attempt to destroy public sector unions?

None other than reviled tea party financiers Charles and David Koch, is who.

Turns out, the billionaire oil tycoons' political action committee gave Gov. Scott Walker (R) roughly $100,000 in campaign contributions during the 2010 election, according to campaign finance records highlighted by Mother Jones.

The contributions came from the same source -- Koch Industries PAC -- and though through two channels which were both legal under current campaign finance law.

4. Yes, and...

These moronic teabaggers are doing their biding and can't see that it's all simply a plan by people like the Koch brothers to break unions, keep wages low, and not have to pay any benefits! They fall for the BS and yet they fail to see that sooner or later they will be affected by these people who want to rule the world and have a two class system, them and the rest of us who will be their slaves!

6. Thanks for this

I posted it on my Facebook page:

So all of you who are "standing with Gov Walker" should really read up on him. He is a bought and paid for politician who cares nothing for the people he represents. But go ahead - keep blaming the workers if it makes you feel better.

Billionaires finance all governors and national politicians.
