Oh, and David H. Koch is a big-time philanthropist and arts enthusiast.
A long investigative piece about the tea-party funders, the Koch brothers of Koch Industries (headquartered in Wichita, KS) is in the New Yorker: The report showed that, from 2005 to 2008, the Kochs vastly outdid ExxonMobil in giving money to organizations fighting legislation related to climate change, underwriting a huge network of foundations, think tanks, and political front groups. Indeed, the brothers have funded opposition campaigns against so many Obama Administration policies—from health-care reform to the economic-stimulus program—that, in political circles, their ideological network is known as the Kochtopus.
