Help me fight the Reich Wingers re: Koch donations to cancer center |
|
I recall reading on here about some strings attached to this donation, or some cover-up of their wrong-doing. I could use some help finding it to counter the Koch-paid trolls now extolling Koch virtues on the jsonline.com blogs.
Help DU'ers!

2. I think that the major point is that this type of "giving" |

is an example of what I call "conspicuous philanthropy." He ends up with a building with his name on it as a monument to himself, gets all sorts of publicity and impresses all his rich friends, etc. At the same time, his pet governor in Wisconsin has put forward legislation that would throw an estimated 55,000 poor people (just above the poverty line) off the state-run health insurance plan.

Would he have donated this money to prostate cancer research if he didn't have this type of cancer? Makes me wonder.
