To a certain extent that's the cost of doing business i'd suppose. I just think Koch went beyond that extent.
I'm not throwing a party after this mind but don't buy into the hagiography.

If you think about it: his brother's wealth may go to him so double the amount, unless he has most of his wealth going to different organizations, in that case, there'll be no wealth seized

I tried to paint as a non-bias picture as possible: just listing his accomplishments and then allowing people to decide for themselves. I try to be fair as possible and I respect everyone's opinion here, as long as they're not wishing death/cheering.

Yeah the secret cashouts to my offshore bank accounts have been dwindling since quite a time. The yacht tours in the caribbean have also been cancelled as of recently.

Can't argue with that.
But who said that I am not also getting shill-cash from Soros too? I enjoy playing both sides in their stupidity against each other out, and harvest the gains. Never put all the eggs in one basket, I tell ya!Iwassoclose wrote:
