Easy Reference Guide to the Koch Brothers' Activities

[drakonyx]

Bloomberg News recently published a scathing indictment of the Koch brothers, two modern-day tycoons who have used their considerable financial clout to finance tea party activities and corporate lobbying campaigns, while engaging in business practices that can best be described as questionable.

The following is a compendium of pertinent facts about the Koch (pronounced "coke") brothers, who have fought against efforts to curb global warming while promoting corporate interests, undermining labor unions and funding ultra-conservative groups. The material gathered here is condensed from information provided in the Bloomberg piece, as well as in articles by The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, ThinkProgress and other sources.

What emerges is a picture of a 21st century Andrew Carnegie in David Koch - a philanthropist who has spent millions to fund charitable enterprises but has put even more money on far less noble endeavors: 1) Paying fines for his company's illegal business practices and 2) Funding political efforts that will ultimately undermine the welfare of corporate employees and the public at large.
