The Koch Brothers just won $100,000,000 in the lottery. Each.
Every week they each increase their wealth another $100,000,000. AFTER TAXES !!!

Last year they each grew their wealth by $5.75 billion. Net, after taxes and other expenses. Each.


When you are so rich the only thing left to buy is a government, you're too rich.

1. K&R- I bet they have tons of money overseas and in tax shelters, and I bet they
whine about every dime they pay in taxes...

4. Does anyone know how much they pay in taxes?
I'd imagine it's less than the average American family pays.

5. For starters, they pay at the capital gains rate....
...work for your money and you pay a higher rate than those who are owning for their money.

6. They pay tax?
Are you sure about that? I would be surprised if they pay more tax than a man earning a million a year.
