“The Kochs, with billions in holdings in energy, transportation and manufacturing, have a significant interest in seeing that future government regulation is limited.”

That’s from a New York Times article in March titled “Koch Group, Spending Freely, Hones Attack on Government.” The point of the article was that the Kochs and their political groups aren’t just spending money to attack one policy, or to attack one candidate. They want to fundamentally undermine government because they have a significant financial self-interest in doing so.

It’s nothing new. Back in 1978, Charles Koch wrote an anti-government manifesto. And they’ve been fighting the same battle ever since.

The Kochs don’t want to make government better. They want to make government disappear. And per usual, it’s all about the Benjamins.
