Wiping your bum with the Koch Brothers
The Koch brothers are in your bathroom folks. The Kochs, who are relishing the Supreme Court decision that “corporations are people” by bankrolling Wisconsin’s Tea Party Governor, Scott Walker, so that Walker can do their bidding and crush the unions and eliminate all those silly regulations that are holding back billionaires from becoming trillionaires.
Charles and David Koch own what Forbes magazine described as the second largest privately owned company in the nation. They have their eyes on Wisconsin’s utility companies to go along with their energy and gas – including pipelines in Texas and Oklahoma, and refineries in Mississippi – it also owns the Georgia-Pacific paper company, which makes popular products, like the following:
Angel Soft toilet paper
Brawny paper towels
Dixie plates, bowls, napkins and cups
Mardi Gras napkins and towels
Quilted Northern toilet paper
Soft ‘n Gentle toilet paper
Sparkle napkins
Vanity Fair napkins
Zee napkins
The nation’s other largest paper company, Kimberly-Clark, which produces Kleenex, Kotex, Cottonelle, Depends and Scott paper towel, to name a few, is run by a man named Thomas Falk.
Falk has previously donated to John Cornyn, the Republican Senator who once likened same-sex marriage to tying the knot with a box turtle, regularly assails a woman’s right to choose and in 2005 voted against increased funding for armored vehicles for soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
There is no getting away from these corporate manipulators who are in our lives in every way. From Federal and State governments, the gas in our car to what we flush into the sewer.

This is ALL over the place right now. I guess it’s being vetted to see if it legit by Stein over at huffpo. If is it, this is a sad state of affairs and just more evidence the republicans will bend over for Koch.
Lots of bathroom products come out of Wisconsin. The next time you see a Kohler toilet or sink, a paper towel holder labeled Fort Howard or Fort James, or a manhole/sewer cover stamped Neenah, think “Cheesehead,” and say a little prayer that the Koch brothers don’t come to “own” Wisconsin, as they would then control all aspects of our most intimate functions.
Yet cheese has a constipating effect. One of those things that make you go hhmmm…
