I wish.

In an interview that aired today on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Charles Koch said that he and his brother are trying to end corporate welfare by making financial contributions to candidates who could stop government assistance of large corporations (via Politico).
Their company, Koch Industries, has reportedly funneled a jaw-dropping $29,519,116 in campaign contributions to mostly Republican politicians since 2002.
Co-host Mika Brzezinski pressed Koch to elaborate his position, asking him, “It’s well and good that you want to stop corporate welfare … but aren’t you still getting caught in the same cycle of buying influence?”
Koch brushed off her question and replied that he and his brother are “so far … largely failures at it, you can tell.”
Regarding November’s midterm elections, in which the Republicans took over the Senate, Koch said, “We looked like we won,” but “as you can see, the performance, we didn’t win much of anything.”
