It isn’t a big secret that the Koch brothers, Charles and David, donate a great deal of money to the GOP. It is also pretty obvious what they get in return—huge tax breaks, eased or eliminated regulations on their many businesses and policy measures, like anti-union right-to-work laws and opposition to increasing the minimum wage, that creates downward pressure on wages.
