The democrats, every single one them are lying through their teeth about these gentlemen. Time for THOSE particular liars to be ousted next month.... Koch Industries employs about 100,000 globally (60,000 in the US alone). Koch Companies support more than 200,000 US jobs and “about $11.8 billion in compensation and benefits.” Of Koch Companies’ 60,000 US employees, approximately one-third are unionized. Koch Industries and the Charles Koch Foundation’s partnership with the United Negro College Fund has resulted in a “$25 million grant that will provide nearly 3,000 merit-based awards to African American undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctorate students seeking scholarship assistance.” Globally, Koch companies “have earned 917 awards for safety, environmental excellence, community stewardship, innovation, and customer service.” Koch Industries has sponsored the Special Olympics in Wichita, Kansas for the past 33 years. “Through the Helping Heroes initiative, Koch companies have contributed nearly $230,000 to emergency response organizations in communities where they operate since 2011.” Koch’s Georgia- Pacific Bucket BrigadeTM program, “has contributed more than $1 million to fire units in communities where the company operates to meet critical needs, as well as provide educational materials to schools.” Through the David H. Koch Charitable Foundation, Koch has contributed or pledged “more than $1.2 billion to cancer research, medical centers, educational institutions, arts and cultural institutions, and to assist public policy organizations.” David Koch’s charitable foundation also provided $100 million to New York Presbyterian Hospital to build a new ambulatory care center, as well as $28 million to research causes. Yet another major Koch grant contributed $100 million to research cancer at MIT. Flint Hill Industries (a Koch company) earned a Clean Air Award from the Environmental Protection Agency. These are only a few of the good deeds carried out by the Kochs and their companies, and the list of charitable works keeps going.
