"..Billionaire industrialist David Koch, who spent vast sums of his billions in personal fortune promoting climate denialism and other right wing causes over the last four decades, died Friday at 79.
His legacy in modern American politics was summed up by The New York Times:
Three decades after David Koch's public steps into politics, analysts say, the Koch brothers' money-fueled brand of libertarianism helped give rise to the Tea Party movement and strengthened the far-right wing of a resurgent Republican Party.
Koch was a controversial figure. His vast fortune—made in large part through fossil fuel extraction and manufacturing, though the company has interests in nearly everything—made him and his brother Charles two of the richest people in the world. The brothers spent at least $100 million since the 1970s promoting right-wing causes, and David ran for vice president as a member of the Libertarian Party in 1980. ..."
The Kock Bros are like Trump, they inherited their wealth thru their daddy, who created Koch industries and the right wing propaganda outfit they ran and later called it teabagging and their fortunes quadrupled thru tax cuts by last two GOP presidents, the two two dumbest ones in history..
Neither Kock will be missed when they both croak, not by any with common sense...
