Of all people, conservative energy mogul and billionaire super-contributor Charles Koch complained Thursday in a newspaper opinion column about the unfair influence of corporations and the “privileged few” in political decisions. “Our lawmakers must act on behalf of all Americans — not just the privileged few,” Koch wrote in a startling statement in The Washington Post. The Koch brothers spent tens of millions of dollars to get the tax law passed and continue to build support for it. Koch wrote his op-ed article because he didn’t get his way this time. As for his own corporate influence in politics, Koch insists he has used his financial clout only for the common good.
