Koch Brothers Backing Clinton?

It appears the famous Koch brothers have pulled their support from a Republican senatorial candidate after that candidate expressed support for Donald Trump. They're now sending their money to Clinton. This article from The Guardian explains the tangled web of financial support in the race.

Remember Fred, corporations are people according to the supreme court

They are. They're collections of people, working as as group.

Afraid not, Fred.
A corporation is a legal creation. While people may work within a corporation, the corporation itself is a paperwork entity.
A corporation cannot vote. It has no legal standing as a registered voter in any state.

Charlie, Davey, Billy or Leroy Koch can each vote but Koch Industries, Inc. cannot.

One man one vote. Ever hear of that? Under the ruling of Citizen's United 5 conservative SCOTUS members got around that tiny problem by declaring that money= free speech. While we've all heard the expression; "money talks", in reality money, be it dimes, quarters, or Benjamins don't talk at all. Hold one up to your ear. What do you hear? Nothing.
A sea shell makes more noise, therefor, seashells = free speech.
That's all,
Diet Koch

P.S. I hardly think the Koch bros will give money to HRC, but id they do, she should take it and use it to buy ads against fracking. Hoist them on their own petards.

Exactly, not individuals when grouped, and thus are really not protected by the US Constitution when you wipe away the film layer of fraud votes to pass constitutional amendments.

Hey look, the bible appears virginesque, but it has been raped and pimped out too by insider groupee religious types.

Theme is......groups manipulate for individual gains that otherwise never occur outside of the group.

People have the right to assemble for redress of grievances. As such, it should be perfectly ok for them to work together for political purposes no matter how they're organized or what you call that organization.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that notices these complaints always center on businesses and not unions or other non- business entities.

They like to call them corporations as a way of demonizing them, but they're nothing more than businesses. You never hear them complain about unions or rich left wingers (Soros, Steyer, etc.) trying to "buy elections"
