North Carolina's Pope & USA's New Gilded Age

The empire building in places like Wisconsin and North Carolina by local
oligarchs like Art Pope, abetted by the useful idiots they install in
office, is the basic foundation for the politics of the new Gilded Age.
Rarely, however, are things as blatant as this attempt to bring one of the
country's finest systems of higher education forcibly into the theocracy of
The Market. There are only two actual Koch Brothers, but there are dozens
of distant cousins doing the same kind of damage.
