In Defense of the Koch Brothers

By Aidan Mattis

NEW YORK, NY – JUNE 05: Activists hold a protest near the Manhattan apartment of billionaire and Republican financier David Koch on June 5, 2014 in New York City. The demonstrators were protesting against the campaign contributions by the billionaire Koch brothers who are owners of Koch Industries Inc. The brothers have become a focus of Democrats and liberals as they are accused of skewing the political playing field with their finances. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)

For the Koch brothers, an ideal government would support gay marriage, freedom of speech, balancing the budget, and capitalism.

Timeless reading in a fleeting world.
