Article PhotoThe Koch brothers and their political allies quietly funneled $250 million to conservative causes last year through a secret tax-exempt organization called Freedom Partners, Politicoreported Wednesday. 
But while the group’s website claims its top priorities including fighting runaway stimulus spending and “corporate welfare,” its donations included a $2 million gift to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, perhaps the strongest backer of such efforts.
The Freedom Partners website identifies four key political issues on which the group is focused — energy deregulation, Obamacare repeal/replacement, an end to “runaway government spending” and “temporary ‘stimulus’ programs,” and the elimination of “cronyism” and “corporate welfare.” 
It explicitly identifiesindustry bailouts, subsidies, and government loans as examples of the cronyism that “undermines the competition that is the heart of economic freedom.”
is big money having a war against other big money? it has to be inevitable that eventually there would be dissension in the 1%. their only collective goal is deregulation, the rest is a territorial thing each has their own ideas.  
after blowing billions last year they are being more intent on having their money seen and the power it wields. they will be more demanding of the purchased politician they have working on their behalf, which will make them become more outrageous then before with "we the people" in the jackpot.
