While people all over the USA are banding together in protest of the excessive greed of America's wealthiest and the power of corporations over public interest, BNF has found the very embodiment of this on Penn Road. "In a way it was all there in one small town where these people are being abused because of the money and the power," said Greenwald. "But this story is not the only one, that's what we have to understand."
There are long lists of Koch Industries' wrongdoings, including the recent epic article in Bloomberg Markets Magazine, but all that information can be hard to grasp until you listen to the residents of Penn Road describe what life is like for them. As Greenwald said, "This is not an academic argument" -- this is life and death. The cruel irony is that while Crossett residents mourn the loss of their family members and neighbours to cancer, David Koch -- a cancer survivor himself -- has donated hundreds of millions to cancer research.
