Charlie and Davy Koch grew up with my Dad in Wichita, Kansas. Their father and my grandfather were both successful oilmen. Their dad stayed successful, my grand-dad: not so much, sigh. Unlike Warren Buffett, George Soros or GE's Jeff Immelt, they have not played the corporatist game of cozying up to those in political power and praising their interventions in return for special deals. Instead, they have called for limited regulation and lower taxes on all businesses, not just their own.
For this they have become the top devil's in the government subsidized left pantheon. Which would be hilarious if it weren't so pathetic. The Weekly Standard has more.
