Charles Koch — one-half of the notorious multibillionaire Koch brothers — says he gets daily death threats and is now on al-Qaida’s hit list.
“I get a lot of death threats,” Koch, 79, said in a rare television interview that aired on “CBS Sunday.” “I decided long ago, I’d rather live for something than die for nothing.”
Charles and his brother David own 84 percent of Koch Industries, the oil conglomerate based in Wichita, Kan., and are worth an estimated $43 billion each — a fortune they’ve used to bankroll a complex network of conservative PACs and advocacy groups that are hard to track, much to the ire of Democratic lawmakers like Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders.
“They are trying to buy America,” Reid said on the Senate floor last year. “And it’s time that the American people spoke out against this terrible dishonesty of these two brothers who are about as un-American as anyone that I can imagine.”
The Kochs and Koch-funded groups will spend an estimated $300 million on the 2016 election.
“American democracy is not about billionaires being able to buy candidates and elections,” Sanders said at the launch of his 2016 campaign. “The Koch brothers alone, one family, will spend more money in this election cycle than either the Democratic or Republican parties. This is not democracy. This is oligarchy.”
Koch called the charges lobbed by critics that he deals in “dark money” because donors to some of the Kochs’ tax-exempt advocacy groups don’t have to disclose their names “vicious” and “dishonest.”
Koch also says he does not consider himself a Republican.
“Not at all,” he said. “I consider myself a classical liberal. The way I look at it is the Democrats are taking us at about 100 miles an hour over the financial cliff and towards this two-tiered society. And the Republicans are taking us there at 70 miles an hour.”
i'm sorry i can't go further with this ELEPHANT DUNG, we know who they support and the agendas they dictate to those the purchase to carry their secret water  checkout the video it's informative and deceptive for a guy who claims to be more liberal he short spends millions to further the republican effort as well as the tea party agenda which he tries to downplay.  if you live near their factories pray for your well being.
