Kochs Could Save Legacy If They Actually Cared About People

Earlier this year, the gruesome twosome of Charles and David Koch announced that they would be pouring close to $900 million into the 2016 presidential campaign, a sum never before seen by a single entity in any election.

It shouldn’t matter what party you are affiliated with – when you hear two men tell the world that they plan on buying the next U.S. President, you should be terrified.

As recorded on FBI informant microphone.

Koch went personally to an American Indian property to rig the meters recording the amount of oil pumped from their property.

When asked by the informant why such a wealthy man would commit such a petty crime, his reply was as above.

By the way, the FBI investigation was squelched after Koch contributed to an influential Senator, who removed the Federal prosecutor.
