I’m not assuming your politics here, but replace Bill Gates with Koch Brothers, and Donald Trump with Barack Obama, would you still feel comfortable with your statement?
- JasonFruit 9y agoI'm not the GP, but I'm comfortable saying I'd prefer for people to decide what to do with their own money than have politicians do it for them, yes — even if they put it toward causes I don't personally consider wise.
- scarface74 9y agoI use to believe that the Koch Brothers were the boogeyman. No, I don't agree with many of the politicians they support, but they are also donating to causes like criminal justice reform, getting rid of civil asset forfeiture. They have spoken out against the demonization of "other". They have worked with the ACLU to abolish mandatory minimums. On the other hand, they have funded studies that try to dispel that global warming is real, and they have been accused of having undue influence on colleges they give grants to.
