The $20,000,000 the Koch brothers spend
I don't usually consider you a kool-aid drinker, but boy did you buy that spin hook line and sinker.  Unlike the Kochs, unions have to actually make public the money they spend on politics, so it doesn't readily show up in the campaign spending databases.

Try this link for a rebuttal to the premise that the Kochs are being horribly misrepresented by Democrats in search of a bogeyman.  http://www.thenation.com/blog/178743/koch-brothers-spent-twice-much-2012-election-top-ten-unions-combined

Yeah, I may be a Republican, but even I see a distinction between the spending buy several unions with a combined membership in the millions vs. TWO brothers who are fortunate enough to be billionaires.

Jeez, Vorlon, you really disappointed here.

Most statistics classes teach the importance of doing an apples to apples comparison, rather than drawing a connection between two incomparable data sets. I would expect an approach based on an annual, per capita basis to provide more insight than the comparison drawn here. What do others think?
