He donated over a Billion dollars in charity.

And his reputation is undeserved. The Koch's are pretty run-of-the-mill rich guys who donate to political campaigns where they see fit. Certainly not the epoch-ending evil people they were demagogues to be.

The Dow is down 573 points perhaps on the news that Representative Seth Moulton, whoever that may be, has dropped out of the 2020 Presidential Race!

Charles is a dedicated libertarian, David was just along for the ride. Having the resources to help extend libertarian ideas out beyond the riddled brains of sex starved teenage boys has disastrous consequences.
