      1. Should celebrate David Koch's philanthropy? No, you can't really praise charity without asking where the money came from. Theodore Roosevelt: “No amount of charities in spending such fortunes can compensate in any way for the misconduct in acquiring them.”

      2. It's true that David Koch gave lots of money to cancer research. It's also true that Koch Industries, as @JaneMayerNYer documents in Dark Money, was fined for recklessly releasing carcinogens into the environment:https://twitter.com/hughhewitt/status/1164901002429911041 …

      Jeet Heer added,

      And to cancer research. Every single person touched by cancer ought to mourn his passing. Visit the site of his center at MIT: https://ki.mit.edu  https://twitter.com/jaynordlinger/status/1164896690878472192 …

          Old joke: A thief who gives all of the stolen money back is called a reformed thief. A thief who gives some of it back is called a philanthropist.

          Was just coming to this thread to point to Anand's work, but I see you've already done it. I'd add to Mayer's the recent Kochland from @CLeonardNews https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/15/books/review/kochland-christopher-leonard.html …

          there should be no billionaires. No one should be able to accumulate that much money. If they are, they're not paying their workers, they're skirting tax laws, they're hoarding money overseas...

          Billionaires should not be able to decide who's worthy of a donation. Billionaires need to be taxed at higher rates because they're not pulling their weight. They're not doing their fair share.
