They have been proven to be behind the "tea party", with MI governor Snyder a stealth "tea party" politician; the ALEC "right to work" legislation being forced upon MI through Koch-beholden politicians is definitely designed to destroy unions and worker's rights. Note that the "emergency manager" process, which further destroys unions and worker's rights (among other devastating results) is Koch-backed/driven and reinforced through Wall Street (Detroit was in debt to Wall Street for $474,000,000 in derivatives).

Shock Doctrine, plutonomy-driven. This is natural, Darwinian capitalism against the rest of us, so all power to all workers, world-wide!
