Exposing the big money behind the American Far Right - we need a master list.

[DickKessler]

Off the top of my head:

Peter Thiel
Robert and Rebekah Mercer
Koch network
Rupert Murdoch
Adelsons
Steve Mnuchin
Wilbur Ross
Walton family
Scaife Foundations
DeVos/Prince dynasty
Joseph Coors’s family
Art Pope
Bradley Foundation
John M. Olin Foundation
US Chamber of Commerce

Many others I’m surely forgetting. Who are some of the other big players? Some of them are more local than others…but all of them bankroll the worst political movements in our country, enemies of democracy, friends of the Trump Crime Family.. .

2. Is Mnuchin rich enough to be on this list?

It's a great idea to create the list. So I guess the best thing is to start with the Forbes 500 and figure out which of those are Ultra-conservative. (Probably most of them.)

Just because they're ultra-conservative, they need to be ultra-wealthy also. The Chump Family used to be wealthy but Forbes dropped them off the list, so ... ???

Let's make up an arbitrary number just to get the list pared down. Maybe they should have a net worth of $500 million?

They should have been ultra-wealthy for at least one generation - say 30 years? This would exclude a lot of super-rich rock stars and sports figures who've made it big but came from nothing. (People like Ted Nugent, Kanye West, etc.)

Any thoughts on this?
