    Ironically, the Dinosaur Wing of the American Natural History Museum will live on for quite some time thanks to his charitable giving

    One open borders fanatic dead. You should know that the Koch's HIGHEST priority right now is making all the illegals legal.

    Like I said, when billionaires want millions of poor uneducated brown people in America, that is exactly what they get. Globalists are garbage human beings who could eventually destroy Western civilization with their machinations.

    Malinowski, D-NJ, says we need them to mow our beautiful lawns.

    Nope. They just make it difficult to eat and clothe their kids for US citizens in the lawncare and landscaping businesses.

    Exactly

    Democrats think illegal aliens should work for slave wages

    And they think American citizen welfare bums should not work at all

    His toxic legacy as the greatest funder of fossil fuel industry propaganda in order to confuse the public as long as possible to the dangers of carbon emissions and the effect on climate will never be challenged. Koch Industries impact on our planet will be felt for generations by our children and grandchildren and all that comes after..........

    Without fossil fuel you would be a subsistence farmer with a life expectancy of about 30-45 years

    You hate them for their stand in one issue but you don't know who they really are.

    "What tends to go unmentioned: the owners of Koch Industries, one of the world's biggest conglomerates, have kicked in an estimated $1.5 billion or so to an array of causes and institutions most liberals love: public television, medical research, higher education, environmental stewardship, criminal justice reform and the arts."
