Featured review
Citizen Koch is one of the most entertaining documentaries I've seen. Sadly for America, it happens to be about the real and tragic theft of power from the 99% into the hands of an unscrupulous, greedy bunch of millionaires.
It begins with an account of how the Supreme Court allowed moneyed interests to have unlimited power through the Citizens United decision and then moves on to show how the Kochs and their cronies take advantage of this by pouring hundreds of millions into political campaigns across the country. They do this to install puppet leaders who re-write the law in their favor.
In particular, we see how the entire state of Wisconsin was completely overrun by Koch cash, like a bad termite infestation that's coming soon to a state near you.
