$889 Million
February 6, 2015
Democrats are furious that David and Charles Koch plan to spend $889 million in the 2016 election cycle. Why the Kochs are sometimes said to be libertarians is puzzling. They will spend the $889 million to elect Republicans to office. You know, the ones who give lip service to the free market and limited government, want to lock people in cages for smoking pot, and want to fight more wars. What libertarian would spend more than 15 cents to elect a Republican to be county dog catcher?
