So you are saying 18 million dollars in donations does not buy them any more influcence than JasonG has?

Nope, I'm saying if you're going to bring up Koch Industries you need to bring up Unions and Sorros and Bloomberg as well just to be balanced. Folks on the left throw around the Koch name without putting any context around their comments or pointing out the money sloshing around both ends of the political spectrum. For example, the woman sitting in Jesse Jackson Jr.'s former house seat was paid for with Bloomberg money.

So if I were using this for Cit Nation: "In the early days of the Republic, our representatives were expected to come home and that politics would not be a career, but rather a service. In addition, the worst thing to happen to American government is arguable air conditioning - it allowed the former swamp turned into Washington Dc to become habitable year-round, turning politics into a year-round endeavor. Idle hands and all that."
