I don't really believe what comes out of his mouth. Where is his money actually going? and to what efforts is it going to? I bet there was an agreement with Tim and Koch to not discuss "certain issues" on the podcast. I'd be surprised if there was not. If really there was no such agreement, then let there be a follow up interview with some different questions for Charles, based on the above web sites. It seems the Koch network does a lot to undercut the environment and protections. I don't like that, since I have to live on this earth for a while longer, and so dear reader, do you also. Make your own judgments..

Charles Koch has read and is a "follower" to some degreee of Frédéric Bastiat (Koch mentions him in the podcast). I read a while ago that Bastiat wrote about and believed that societial instability benefits companies, and those companies should seek that instability, but I could not find where I read that the first time. Well, I think the Koch machine/network has put much instability in the White House--may we survive this ride..
