As examples, look up Confucius Institutes or the Koch brothers (yes, them again) funding of colleges and programs.

The Koch brothers understand this, they came right out and said that they view campaign contributions as investments.

Now the Koch brothers will be bragging about how they saved us all from freezing to death.

The Koch brothers, whose combined wealth is on Gates' scale, spend billions to advocate similar positions.

If the koch brothers can have 100 villas, would they be able to have so many without a redistribution system?

Guess why, for example, David Koch donated to Florida State University and then demanded the right to determine their economics syllabus?

Finally, the Koch brothers funded some economics institute at a U.

Then again, the Koch brothers might go for it.

It would surprise me greatly if Gates doesn't similarly already have his hands in politics, but the thing Gates has that the Koch brothers don't is soft power[1].

The Koch brothers are a good example of this--the only reason we know that they have been funding Republican and Tea Party campaigns is because of good investigative journalism.

On one hand, you have the Koch brothers who want you to believe global warming is a non-issue and that everything will be fine so keep burning all the fossil fuels you want.

Another funny thing is, I had never heard of the Koch brothers until Harry Reid gathered up his slip and curls, and started crying into his pillow over them.

According to [0], the Koch foundation made funding of Florida State University conditional on keeping Bruce Benson, a self-described "libertarian anarchist" as department chair.

He meant Werner Koch, the guy who is maintaining gnupg A few months ago, he asked again for donation, this time he got "good media exposure" and got funded.

At the more reductionist level, I've seen it best described as a "donor riot"; rather obviously the interests of the wealthy who identify as Republican are different that the base (and this is one reason why the Emmanuel Goldsteining of the libertarian Koch brothers strikes us as bizarre, then again they've got some truly dangerous thoughts).

I'm a German and I'm simply surprised no one is out on the streets or that there is no nationwide strike after the revelation that our current government has: - blatantly lied to us wrt NSA "no-spy deal" - the BND tries to conceal just how deep they were up the NSA's butthole - Heckler&Koch tried to get MAD (the military's (counter)-espionage agency) to silence the press over the G36 scandal.

The tea party is probably only as dirty as the Koch's money.

As for the $100M, here's $80M from one source, (freres Koch).
