They're demonized by Democrats, who lack a liberal equal to counter their weight, and not entirely understood by Republicans, who benefit from their seemingly limitless donations.

What an amazing pack of lies. They are something like 59th on the list of political contributors with the top ten being labor unions.

Georgie Schwartz contributes far more to the Dems than all of the Koch’s political spending.

Those poor leftists don’t get any money at all from capitalist fatcats like the Koch brothers. They have to rely on the measly billions they get from lower middle class wage slaves like Buffet and Soros and the Silicon valley street people.
