Koch Brothers Net Worth Tops $100 Billion as TV Warfare Escalates

Charles and David Koch, the billionaire brothers who run Wichita, Kansas-based Koch Industries Inc., added $1.3 billion to their collective fortune yesterday on reports that U.S. industrial production gained more than forecast. The surge elevated their net worth to more than $100 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

The Koch’s fortune is derived from their combined 84 percent stake in the second-largest closely held company in the U.S., which has annual sales of about $115 billion, according to Koch Industries’ website. They’re the fifth- and sixth-richest people in the world.

The billionaires also own Atlanta-based Georgia-Pacific LLC, which makes Dixie cups, Brawny paper towels and Quilted Northern toilet tissue.

These two are responsible for most of the destruction of the U.S. and they are far from done in destroying it.

Please provide proof, beyond your left wing opinion and stop blowing Harry Reid's tool. The libs are reaching for their normal character assassinations as they hope for mid-term victories. The wool is off the eyes and if this kind of thing is a campaign strategy, it's a non starter. Whiny liberals really think two brothers are capable of destroying the U.S.? You have drank too much of the sewer water. I recommend that you get some help for deprogramming you from the party line cult that you have subscribed to. If you believe any of this, you are bat shit crazy. This is as ridiculous as me screaming SOROS SOROS SOROS!

I like Dixy Cups, Brawny Towels and Quilted Northern....they create jobs and pay worth billions of dollars, right here in the USA. You wanna run them off? America would falter.

Obsession's can be unhealthy. The question is at what point do they start to become dangerous? Have you mapped out the water towers in the area based on the potential for best kill results? That would be a defining criteria for getting help.

There is a Koch under your bed! Boo!

 

[Strk]

That's a lot of Koch

Warning: The mention of the Kock brothers is known to cause symptoms* seen in rabies

Quilted Northern sucks. Charmin is the best. Everyone knows this.

I actually prefer Cottonelle - it has a dog on the package :hmm:

Quilted northern was the first toilet paper to come out in 3-ply and for that I will always be grateful for the Koch brothers.

Scotts Xtra Soft.... it's soft and no leftover flakes on the b-hole.

Maybe we can all go back to before we had all these evil corporations. You know, the ones that provide food on your table. Over 300,000,000 people in the US can go back to hunting wild animals for food.

True or false : Koch Industries employes people.

True or false : Those employees get paid from profits made by the companies of Koch Industries.

True or false : Those employees spend their pay on products made by other companies which employ other people for pay.

And the cycle continues. THAT is trickle-down, and denying its existence is foolishness.

 

[trenchfoot]

I commend the Koch brothers for their providing jobs for Americans.

I condemn the Koch brothers for using their vast wealth to relentlessly drive down American's wages for ever higher profits that they obviously can do without.

All the people I know who work for a Koch business is well paid and has great compensation packages. In fact most are union members.

 

[moonbogg]

100 billion is crap. If they had real strength they'd have at least a trillion. Pussies.

LOL. Another day, another Dumb McOwned self-ownership thread.

what about trillions missing from pentagon accounting one day before 9/11

The Koch Brothers have also donated to Democrats. Harry Reid "forgets" to mention this whilst he smears their name.

Yes they have and those Dem's were very happy to take that money. Among them was a Senator named Barack Obama. Don't for one second think that Harry Reid is leading the charge against the Koch's of his own volition. He is following orders from a man who was happy to take Koch money when it suited his needs.

Other big names include Baucus, Biden, Hillary and Feinstein. And that is just in the Senate.

Our political system is a disgrace and broken beyond repair.
