What hath Koch wrought?

Frank

As Patrick O’Connor wrote in his Wall Street Journal article on Charles Koch:
“In 2003, Mr. Koch convened about a dozen like-minded conservatives in Chicago with the goal of becoming more overtly political. Those efforts took hold early in Barack Obama’s presidency amid voter unease with the bank bailout signed by President George W. Bush and with the passage of the Affordable Care Act. Groups financed by the Kochs and their alliance spent more than $400 million in 2012…In that year’s presidential election, Americans for Prosperity and two other Koch-financed groups spent a total of more than $50 million on television ads”.

This gave rise to the Tea Party, whose members were led to believe it was a pure grassroots movement when in fact it is a centralized movement mobilized by the two groups, Americans for Prosperity and Freedom Works, financed by the Kochs, and which was actually begun in 1984 as the Koch brothers’ Citizens for a Sound Economy.

With their creation of the Tea Party’s first national website , the Kochs wanted to advance “free-market, small-government ideals”, but they lost control of the movement as it slid into craziness and an anti-government frenzy under the influence of xenophobes, theocrats, and extreme nationalists with just a soupcon of racism.

The result, after some initial obstructionism in Washington that the Kochs thought controllable, was a political climate in which it’s nearly impossible to govern.

Charles and David Koch planned to invest $750 million on the 2016 elections, and look what is going on in the party they support.

According to Charles Koch “It’s mainly about personalities and ‘your mother sucked rotten eggs”.

Obviously being one of a few interested parties contributing dark money, the Kochs would like to see things go in a way that is to their advantage, but this will not produce that.

Koch is now complaining about the very political conditions that were created by his and his brother’s self-serving approach to governance.

How ’bout that.
