Daniel Fisher, Forbes.com, August 31, 2010
“The Kochs are wedded to solid assets like refineries and paper mills. They employ tens of thousands of people. They are subject to a profusion of regulations, not all of which they agree with, or would even make sense to an ordinary citizen. Is there anything untoward about hiring lawyers and lobbyists to try and change the regs?”
Michael Warren, The Weekly Standard, March 3, 2011
“The EPA under President Obama has also praised Koch subsidiaries Georgia-Pacific and Invista for their cooperation with the agency. Georgia-Pacific even won an award from the EPA in 2009. Leftists may complain that these right-wing bogeymen are unfairly challenging federal environmental regulations so they can “keep pumping out pollution for free,” but it seems the Obama administration has a lot of positive things to say about the brothers Koch.”
John Hinderaker, AOL News, February 28, 2011
“Charles and David Koch run one of the most successful and most admired companies in the world. They have created many thousands of jobs, have served their customers well and have paid vast amounts in taxes. Instead of trying to silence them, perhaps we should listen to what they have to say about how free enterprise creates wealth, and how government can both be restrained and made more efficient.”
Tim Carney, D.C. Examiner, January 30, 2011
“The Kochs argue, with plenty of evidence, that economic freedom and the prosperity it yields are the best things a government can offer to the poor.”
Mark Hemingway, Washington Examiner, August 24, 2010
“I rarely agree with the political bent of the New Yorker, but the magazine’s legendary fact-checking department usually weeds out this type of baseless nonsense. I don’t know what’s happened editorially at the New Yorker, but Mayer’s piece is biased hackery, pure and simple.”
