Their efforts included town halls, door-to-door canvassing, and television ads—not to mention direct lobbying

Kochs made securing big tax cuts for themselves and their corporation a key goal for their political network in 2017. The Koch groups spent over $20 million promoting the tax bill that ultimately became law,

Second, I see you are obsessing about other peoples money again. While you're at it, mind telling us how much Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and every other billionaire will make from these tax cuts? I'm dying to know, because it really affects my day to day life.

The ROI on "political investments" can be impressive. The system is broken when people can spend money to "promote" bills that would greatly help them.
