Charles and David Koch, the secretive billionaire brothers who own
Koch Industries, the largest private oil company in America, have spent
millions bankrolling free-market think tanks and pro-business
politicians in order, as David Koch has put it, “to minimize the role of
government, to maximize the role of private economy and to maximize
personal freedoms.” But a closer look at their dealings reveals that
for the past 35 years the brothers have never shied away from using
government subsidies to maximize their own profits, even while
endeavoring to limit government spending on anything else. Simply put:
the Kochs have no problem with socialism — as long as they’re in on the
action.
