A recent piece in the New Yorker suggests that the Koch brothers, Charles and David Koch are practically running right wing libertarian politics in America. The Brothers who own and run the second largest privately help company in the United States are raking in the cash from their Kansas based company, Koch Industries. The company is large, very large, to the tune of $100 million in revenue per year, and a lot of the profits are apparently being funneled into political organizations with libertarian roots.

In the past three decades, the Koch brothers have contributed over $100 million towards several political fronts. The money has been linked to the Tea Party movement, as well as various other right wing agendas. The brothers have relied on America not knowing who they are, staying under the radar, bringing in billions of dollars each year to their oil company. This may be changing though, as the media has latched onto their story, and the “largest company that you’ve never heard of,” as David Koch puts it, will likely no longer have the cover they once did.

President Obama, and other Democrats have accused the brothers indirectly of setting up groups with harmless sounding names, to hide behind in order to push their political agendas. The Brothers certainly have the right to spend their money how they choose, however some people feel they are doing so with hidden agendas.
