Dark Money

"Lowering taxes and rolling back regulations, slashing the welfare state, and obliterating the limits on campaign spending might or might not have helped others, but they most certainly strengthened the hand of extreme donors with extreme wealth."
(Jane Mayer, 2016)

Jane Mayer describes "the Kochs and their ultra-wealthy allies on the right" in her book "Dark Money".

"His[Trump's] call to close the carried-interest tax loophole, and talk of the ultrarich not paying its share, as well as his anti-immigrant rants, made his opponents appear robotically subservient, and out of touch. But few other Republican candidates could afford to ignore the Kochs."
(Jane Mayer, DARK MONY, 2016. p. 373)
