#CharlesKoch’s network launches $20m campaign backing Trump #tax breaks
Revealed: #fossilfuel #billionaire’s #AmericansForProsperity vows ‘herculean undertaking’ to renew and deepen tax cuts
The donor appeal calls for even bolder tax cuts for corporations that would directly benefit #KochIndustries, the energy and chemicals giant from which most of #AFP’s funding derives.
It is estimated that the #Kochs have benefited by more than $1bn a year from Trump’s tax cuts.

For those interested in dark money funding and influence, this is an excellent forensic analysis of Charles Koch and his conservative, neoliberal organizations and spending.

Bosses always keen to “reduce the cost of labour.”

Most exploiters go for #automation, but some profiteers take teens from schools into factories. #CEOs on #recordsalaries, – and their #minions – keep wages low #byanymeansnecessary.

This “perfectly legal” #child labour is pushed by groups such as #AmericansforProsperity, various #chambersofcommerce, and #restaurantassociations

Koch Network Unleashes Early Attacks Against Trump
https://www.exposedbycmd.org/2023/06/15/koch-network-unleashes-early-attacks-against-trump/

Charles Koch’s group Americans for Prosperity (AFP) and its super PAC, AFP Action (AFPA), had spent $347,022 in May to discredit his presidential bid in 2024. AFP joins Club for Growth as the first right-wing super PACs to openly oppose Trump’s candidacy, according to The Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/05/koch-trump-2024-gop-presidential-primary/)

#trump was advised by his attorneys to return the documents but Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch advised Trump he could legally keep them. #JudicialWatch is funded by the Koch Network which also funds #americansforprosperity. AFP oddly enough is now running ads against trump’s Re-election. Hmm?

Today I went to a Florida Senate committee hearing that was packed with #AmericansForProsperity "dead souls."

They sure didn't look prosperous, that's one thing I'll say.

#AmericansForProsperity does not speak for me.

#Republicans win the Naming & Message wars consistently...& this is the EASY part.

#AmericansforProsperity should have been an org founded by people that believe in #SocialJustice, #Equality, #ClimateChange, #EnvironmentalProtection, just like #CitizensUnited should have been too -BUT IT'S NOT.

Wtf #Democrats? Get it together, hire a master PR. Owning names like these is more than 50% the battle. A tragically on-going opportunity miss on your part.
