Robert Reich: A number of billionaires are flooding our democracy with their money, drowning out the voices of the rest of us. But Charles and David Koch are in a class by themselves. They're using their fortune -- they're the fifth and sixth richest people in the world -- to create their own political machine designed to protect and advance their financial interests. The Koch machine includes ... Political front groups pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into elections at every level of our democracy, while disguising the sources of the money ... [and a] campaign to suppress the votes of minorities. In the last presidential election, funding white "poll-watchers" where minorities vote, leading to complaints of voter intimidation.
