One of the Koch brothers responds to Warren Buffett's call for more taxes on the rich. In my Daily Take - I'll tell you how it's obvious that the Koch's don't want a discussion about how they made their family made its first millions!

4. These philanthropists write their contributions off on their taxes.

So, essentially, their pet projects are subsidized by taxpayers.

I've often wondered how generous these people would be toward charities if they weren't allowed to deduct them from their taxes.

People like the Koch Bros. are a sample of the narrow vision too many people with too much money have in this country.
