Sure they did. The Constitution proves it.

Interesting the vast sums of money pumped into politics by the billionaires on the left isn't a concern.

George Soros rises again - POLITICO

To be sure, other elite liberal donors are also stroking big checks, including San Francisco environmentalist Tom Steyer (who has donated $31 million in 2016, albeit almost entirely to a super PAC he controls), New York hedge funder Don Sussman ($13.2 million to various campaigns and committees) and media moguls Haim Saban and Fred Eychaner ($11.1 million each). But few have the bellwether effect of Soros.
 
The lefts favorite punching bag. Do people know about all the
money they give to great charities? I don't think they do.

Beyond the Boogeyman

The Koch brothers are vilified by the left but their philanthropy presents a more complicated picture.

David Koch gifts to this city alone are a previous $15 million to New York-Presbyterian’s Weill Cornell Medical Center, $30 million to Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, $25 million to the Hospital for Special Surgery, $20 million to a dinosaur exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History, $65 million to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and $100 million to the Lincoln Center theater that is home to the New York City Ballet and the New York City Opera.

Now that the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) has accepted a $25 million donation from Charles and David Koch, at least one Ivy League professor is worried sick and a bunch of leftists have taken to Twitter to express their rage.

The donation, by Koch Industries Inc. and the Charles Koch Foundation, was announced on Friday. It will be split between $18.5 million for a new Koch Scholars Program supporting nearly 3,000 individual scholarships and $6.5 million for general support to the UNCF and historically black colleges.

Oh, those terrible Koch brothers! As we know, the left are blind hypocrites. They don't want to see the facts, it's okay for their side to do it, and all you need to be evil is money and an "R" next to your name. And sometimes you don't need the money part.

They kind of did. Back then you had to be a property owner to vote, and now all the republicans out there scream that money is speach when money is actually property. So those with the most property get MUCH more speach and drown out those without as much property. Right wingers never loved democracy. They've always prefered plutocracy instead and their policies push us in that direction nonstop.

Drop in the bucket? The Progressive Machine and all it's affiliates outspends the Koch Brothers by something like 100 to 1.

It's not even close.

Thanks for the laugh!

At least you admit you are ignorant on the subject.

I'll give you a couple, but I don't make a habit of hitting my head against a brick wall.

Just as I thought. You proved nothing. You linked to orgs without showing numbers or where the money is coming from. Other than that you just bitch about unions because, as we know, you hate democracies.

Let me show you how to do it seeing how you don't know what you are doing...


See how its done? Good luck trying to find a single donor matching this one.
