The Kochs own companies that employ people and provide products we use.
On the other side Democrat sugar daddy George Soros seems to be omitted in media stories about the negative effects of big money in politics. Soros made a fortune betting against British currency. I thought you lefties hated paper pusher billionaires.
Soros has poured money into the Occupy loser movement, Black Lives Matter hate group and other radical groups.
Soros is an anti West, anti capitalist America hating pig.
...they can get a license to pollute. According to the University of Massachusetts Amherst's Political Economy Research Institute, only three companies rank among the top 30 polluters of America's air, water and climate: ExxonMobil, American Electric Power and Koch Industries.
Soros's income is not derived by destroying the Earth. He's in essence a gambler - he should be GaG's favorite kabillionaire. Look at the lefty outfits you cited that Soros supports (maybe) and compare them to the Kochs' - The Heritage Foundation, the American Enterprise Institute and the Cato Institute. Which groups try to influence politicians more?

The earth will be just fine BP. And if they were doing that much damage, where is Obama's EPA to stop them? They don't care about the earth or America either? Puh-lease!
The demonization of the Kochs backfired wildly in 2014 as Reps rolled to a massive and historic victory. Dems just don't get it. People don't hate the Kochs...they WANT TO BE the Kochs!
You guys are in desperate need of new material. The "war on women" and the "evil Koch brother" memes are both in there 14 minute of fame. LO
...to save the planet, don't come crying to me. But you can put this on your tombstone:
"BP was right!!"
Maybe your tombstone will survive when the Earth resembles the moon and the phrase will stump the aliens who see it as much as Stonehenge is still mysterious to us today.
They start with neighbors first with their fertalizer plants that are unsafe. Imagine getting blown up by shit.... no.....lol here. It's a shame, because they really do some good things.
And that 2014 "massive and historic victory" hasn't done anything for us except to show how inept even republicans can be. Now republicans have the likes of Trump, Carson and some chick. Way to go, we just lost 2 years we'll never get back
Just as Soros doesn't either. It seems that the Kocks brothers hooked their wagon on the wrong horse, again. Walker is out of his league, this isn't Madison. Looks like they'll have to find another pigeon to help them skirt the law.
The funniest part of your link was in the "comments"
"Mindy Zumba · Works at UC Berkeley
Koch Industries is defending its acquisition of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker against charges that it overpaid for the Midwestern politician.
After co-owner David Koch revealed that Walker had become a wholly owned subsidiary of Koch Industries, he set off a firestorm of criticism that the company had spent too much for a worthless asset.
“There was absolutely no bidding war for Walker,” an industry analyst familiar with the market value of politicians said. “Even Sheldon Adelson had no interest in acquiring him.”
While Koch Industries did not disclose the purchase price of the Walker subsidiary, it said that Koch Industries would spend nine hundred million dollars between now and November, 2016, for a variety of upgrades to the Wisconsin governor.
In a terse statement, Koch Industries argued, “Scott Walker is a perfect fit with our diversified portfolio of elected officials,” but indicated that, if Walker underperforms, the company would be open to selling him at a later date."
Even diehard conservatives have to admit THAT was funny. lmao
As if the left aren't supported by billionaires.
Do the names:
Buffet
Soros
Lauder
Bluhm
Doerr
Jacobs
Spielberg
Geffen
Bloomberg
ring a bell?
The libs that decry money in politics are the biggest hypocrites out there.
And, it's exactly why we have the political system that we have! How about there being people who would like big money out of politics? And, of those, would they have to be just from the left, or just from the right, or just from the middle? As long as everyone points to someone else as being just as big a problem, or bigger, we're stuck with a broken system! 
And, though I would like to see our system reformed so that those with the deepest pockets do not overpower the will of the people, my link was more about the issue that; primarily, Walker is nosediving in the poles, and the reason for it being he resembles a weather-vane turning in the wind. And, only secondarily, as a side-note, that the Koch's may not be getting their monies worth in their investment in Walker.
So, how about reading the post, without the typical knee-jerk right-wing response!
