Billionaire industrialist David H. Koch, who with his older brother Charles was both celebrated and demonized for transforming American politics by pouring their riches into conservative causes, died Friday at 79.

The cause of death was not disclosed, but Koch Industries said Koch, who lived in New York City, had contended for years with various illnesses, including prostate cancer.

    Original anonymous coward here. You seem to think it's Koch vs. Clintons. It isn't, but it's how MSM wants you to see things.
    The truth is they are both evil self serving short sighted deluded egomaniacs, selling the country part and parcel.
    Their methods are different but they both hate the citizenry.

    They don't hate the citizenry. That would be like you hating the worms in your garden. They see you as a useful resource most of time, but they won't hesitate to squash you when you get in the way. Or to put a hook through you when they go fishing. You don't matter enough to be hated.
