Jim Hightower: "Secret corporate cash perverts elections… and public policy''

From Jim Hightower's 

"Check out Americans for Prosperity, a fine-sounding group organized under the tax code as a "social welfare" organization. But, having poured some $40 million into the 2010 elections to help elect candidates who would push its agenda, exactly whose welfare and prosperity is it pushing?

OpenSecrets.org – a follow-the-money watchdog – gives us a peek at the who's who of selfish interests behind AFP. Start with its founder, board chairman, and generous benefactor, David Koch, a far-right-wing Republican billionaire dedicated to imposing a corporate plutocracy over America."
