I visited the Koch brothers office tower once. The top 2 or 3 floors were turned into a running track complete with birch trees. Washrooms had solid gold faucets.
Sounds very environmentally oriented.

David Koch wanted to abolish public schools, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and rent control. He financed groups that denied the research on climate change. He funded the Tea Party. And he used dark money to support right-wing causes and Republican candidates for office.

Poor Charles Koch - it must be tough to lose a brother like that. I hope they are reunited soon!

I get the feeling he didn't like cunts.

Amazing people. Against public schools, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and even public roads!
Funded a lot of anti-climate change propaganda as well.
Not only against the people, but the planet as well.

And cunts, didn't even know he was gay.

So lets see here.

-He opposed the Iraq War
-Was pro choice
-For gay rights and same sex marriage
-Opposed the war on drugs
-For stem cell research
- Between 1998 and 2012, Koch contributed at least $395 million to medical research causes and institutions.
- Advocated prison reform. Even commended by Obama for his bipartisan efforts in that regard.
-The Chronicle of Philanthropy listed him as one of the top 5 philanthropists in the world

He was a staunch libertarian which of course explains his other views.

Come on, he was against public schools and public roads.

Yes he was against public schools.'' Participants at the Koch Network gathering, Hohmann reports, spoke of ESAs being instrumental in redirecting public school funding to an array of privately-controlled alternatives to public schools, including “technologies” that let parents pick and choose private classes or tutors, teacher-less computer based instructional programs often called “personalized” or “customized” learning, and “micro-schools” that substitute computer software platforms for the traditional shared-space of a public school led by professional educators.''

Sounds intriguing to me. But probably not possible

Oh and you are wrong it seems. He was actually for roads,lol. He was against public transit. Which I would disagree with. Here's an excerpt.

''Supporters of transit investments point to research that shows that they reduce traffic, spur economic development and fight global warming by reducing emissions. Americans for Prosperity counters that public transit plans waste taxpayer money on unpopular, outdated technology like trains and buses just as the world is moving toward cleaner, driverless vehicles.''

It's from the NYT so of course they hate him going in but just the same its an interesting read.

OK, I trust you on the public roads, 'cause it is just too hare brained to be against public roads.

Of course I disagree with him on schools and transit.
