[h=2]Media Matters Tool Oliver Willis Claims If You Buy an iPhone “You’re Helping The Koch Brothers Right-Wing War On America”…[/h]
Kochphone
When you buy an iPhone, you may be helping to fund some of the most virulent right wing campaigns around.
In December of 2013, Koch Industries announced that it had completed its acquisition of Molex Industries, a maker of electronic components. Koch acquired Molex for $7.2 billion dollars and folded it in to its portfolio of industrial companies.
Molex (along with two other companies) makes a key component in Apple’s iPhone line, the Lightning connector which allows the device to sync with external machines like computers, music docks, etc. The connector is also part of the iPad.
So when consumers buy an iPhone, some of those profits will find their way into the pockets of Charles and David Koch, the multibillionaires who have become one of the major funders of right wing activism in the last decade.
Often under the banner of their group Americans for Prosperity, the Kochs have attempted to stop President Obama’s re-election, undermine the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and install right-wing politicians at all levels of government who they believe will help their pollution-heavy businesses generate even greater profits.
The Koch’s front group, Americans for Prosperity, recently revealed plans for a multimillion dollar campaign in 2014 to blanket the airwaves with ads designed to oust Democratic senators in favor of candidates more favorable to the far-right Tea Party.
