A plethora of problems plaguing democratic countries (not just the U.S.) stem from money having too much influence over politics, which was a problem for democracy even in ancient Greece. You might happen to agree with Soros and Koch on this particular issue, but how about all the other times they've bought influence with money to serve their own interests? If rich people using their money to influence the government has been a problem in the past, perhaps it's not something we should be celebrating now even if this particular case seems less disgusting than is typical. I will save my applause the oligarch who puts his fortune and power to the task of reducing his own influence over government and thereby strengthening democracy.
