I almost took a job with Koch. It was an unbelievable offer, but then they flew me to Wichita for the weekend. As a (then) single guy, I just couldn't do it.
BTW, I love how The New Yorker demonizes their business. They should ask the Bank of England how it feels about George Soros.

The article has 9979 words, according to my Word Tools\Word Count. Here is Wikipedia's summary.
-------
An August 2010 essay in the New Yorker magazine also describes the Koch brothers as major funders to the U.S. Tea Party movement, as well as outspending ExxonMobil from 2005-2008 in giving money to organizations fighting climate change legislation, and underwriting a vast network of foundations, think tanks, and political front groups that are mounting opposition campaigns against many Obama Administration policies, ranging from health-care reform to the economic-stimulus program. The scale of their funding is so vast that the essay notes that "in political circles, their ideological network is known as the Kochtopus". A study released in 2010 by the University of Massachusetts at Amherst’s Political Economy Research Institute named Koch Industries one of the top ten air polluters in the United States.[12] The essay cites Charles Lewis, the founder of the Center for Public Integrity as saying, "The Kochs are on a whole different level. There’s no one else who has spent this much money. The sheer dimension of it is what sets them apart. They have a pattern of lawbreaking, political manipulation, and obfuscation. I’ve been in Washington since Watergate, and I’ve never seen anything like it. They are the Standard Oil of our times."[13]
