Jeff Bezos will step up. He's already made donations to get military folks into congress. Military are by and large conservative. Koch wasn't producing the numbers he did in his prime. It was time to blow it up.
The witch is dead

and Charles has been pulling away from politics these last few years, IIRC
Koch family (extremist paranoid father was a John Bircher) has really contributed to ing up America of the non-oligarchy, and of course ing up the environment through their BigCarbon businesses.
all these guys, dead or alive.
Does he have kids? They're probably worse, if history is any precedent.
Also, thoughts and prayers.
They're probably employed at his charitable foundations, which is probably where most of the money is too.
People praying for the Koch wealth to get tied up in probate court probably haven't thought it all the through.
Who's gonna be your next boogeyman?
ya'll try the new popeyes chicken sammich yet?
Charles Koch is the driving force behind all their political activity, David is a secondary actor. Don’t think this means anything.
naw, how is it?
I'm going to but the lines have been insane so far, not waiting in that for fast food.
pretty tasty. You have to get the y version tho. I won't say its better than chik fil a, but its pretty damn close.
Yes the lines are ridiculous right now. I was able to try before social media blew it up.
Went just now and they were out...so I hit up the mom and pop messican spot across the street.
Can't see myself getting anything other than Tuesday specials at Popeye's then the occasional survey deal when I remember it.
Fresh Air just had a good story on the Kochs. Extraordinary businessmen.
Damn you fellas eat out a-lot. Get yourself a woman that can cook.
Why would we post about what women cook for us?
Weirdo.
He did not donate to trump
I typically eat out once a week...usually during lunch. My lady is a scratch cook and loves doing it, so I eat dinner at home most evenings.
Main actors in the destructive oligarchy
Here are 11 things the Koch brothers didn’t want you to know
In 2012, their network of hardcore libertarian political donors
spent $400 million on negative campaign ads intended
to destroy government safety nets and defeat Democrats.
They want to
repeal Obamacare,
dismantle labor unions,
repeal any environmental law protecting clean water and air,
roll back voting rights,
privatize Social Security,
stop a minimum wage increase and more.
They don’t care about destroying the checks and balances in American democracy to get their way.
1. The family’s $100 billion fortune comes mostly from a massive network of oil and gas pipelines, and investments in other polluting industries like paper and plastics.
2. Koch Industries is the second largest privately held company in America, worth upwards of $80 billion. It is one of the country’s top 15 polluters, responsible for more than 300 oil spills. It has paid over $100 million in fines and been found guilty by a federal jury of stealing oil from Native American lands.
3. The Kochs have invested multi-millions in more than 85 right-wing organizations over the years to push an anti-government, libertarian agenda.aka, VRWC
4. The brothers work to create legal decisions to empower their efforts. They brought two U.S. Supreme Court Justices, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, to give speeches at their invitation-only gatherings for libertarian industrialists. That was before the Court issued its Citizens United ruling, gutting federal laws that restricted the kinds of outside campaigns they bankroll.
5. Americans for Prosperity led a successful takeover of the school board in Wake County, North Carolina in 2009, which then ended student busing to resegregate high schools.
6. As donors to higher education, the Kochs have designed grant agreements with more than 150 colleges and universities where they restrict academic freedom by exerting control over who gets hired.
7. AFP was one of the lead groups in Wisconsin, encouraging Republican Gov. Scott Walker to revoke collective bargaining agreements with public employees—except for police and firefighters, who tend to support the GOP and law-and-order politicians.
8. Other Koch-funded efforts include the Republican national effort to unduly police the voting process to discourage young people, minorities and senior from casting ballots.
9. The Koch brothers make $13 million a day from their investments, but they want to eliminate minimum wage laws and oppose any increases. People earning the federal minimum wage earn about $60 a day.
10. The Koch brothers want to destroy the most popular government program of all, Social Security, by funding right-wing think tanks that spread misinformation about Social Security’s long-term financial health, claiming it will not survive. They want people to invest their retirement savings on Wall Street, which is riskier and would earn billions in fees for investment firms.
11. The Koch brothers’ massive investments and holdings are literally killing the planet, because their primary business is transporting gas and oil. That includes the Canadian oil tar sands, which is the dirtiest source of fossil fuel on earth.
