He was a major donor to the Republican Party over the last couple decades or so along with his brother

Pulled a lot of strings and funded a lot of corrupt shit

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
- Bob Dylan, Masters of War

David Koch played a significant role in furthering wealth inequality in America and preventing action against climate change for his own personal gain for decades. He will get none of my tears.

A guy who political candidates would visit -- hat in hand -- to ask for money. As such, at least some liberals are happy to see less money go to the GOP (although his brother is still alive so not much will probably change). In general, he's a liberal bogeyman, blamed by liberals for all manner of things because he's a major donor and therefore has a lot of political influence (in the same way that many conservatives have a fixation with George Soros).

Pretty much.

We need higher tax rates and closed loopholes for the rich, and repeal of Citizens United. Until then, rich ass holes will always be able to hoard utterly obscene amounts of money to the point that the top few % has more money than the bottom 90%, and can freely pour it into buying politicians to advance their own interests to increase their wealth even more, at the expense of everyone else and the Earth itself.

This evil person may be gone, but he will be quickly replaced.

At the time you posted, only Jen (apparently, I didn't see it) and maybe one other person were celebrating his death. That's not "3/4s".

He was evil, if there was any good he brought into this world it was covered in the deluge of evil he added to it.

He doesn't deserve the respect of only having nice things said about him when he devoted his life to attacking me and my rights.

He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 92. He donated money to cancer research. He wasn't a philanthropist.

I agree although I will say the Kochs are the kings of "dark money" and people like the Kochs spawned organizations like "Citizens United" and a whole host of other like-minded entities dead set on destroying democracy in America which is slowly eroding now.

He's not dead.

He got the death penalty. He's gonna be killed by the government eventually.


Assuming that the death penalty isn't commuted to a life sentence in the appeals process or that the US doesn't come to its sentences and ban the death penalty altogether.

That's not how philanthropy works. You don't get to write off donations when a person has a personal connection to the cause. Otherwise you're suggesting that he only donated to cancer research. Do you have something to substantiate that?
