Subject: RE: BS: death of David Koch
But why? What was their thinking behind their attempt to impose their extreme philosophy on the US and the world? "Because they're bad" (or whatever) is not a satisfactory answer. The Koch Brothers have had more money than anybody could possibly use. While they may have been guilty of questionable practices in accumulating their billions, megabillionaires like the Gateses and Carnegies and Vanderbilts and Rockefellers, all ended up doing things that were quite remarkably philanthropic and constructive. Warren Buffet seems to be going in the same philanthropic direction.

What is it about the Koch Family? Do they believe they are saving the world by imposing their conservative ideals? The efforts of the Koch Family are more-or-less the same as those of the John Birch Society of the 1950s and 1960s. What is the rationale behind it?
