Koch Industries, one of the largest private corporations in the nation, operates refineries and manufactures a variety of products. The new tax law ? which slices corporate tax rates from 35 percent to 21 percent, slashes estate taxes and includes a special deduction for oil and gas investors is expected to save the Koch brothers and their businesses billions of dollars in taxes.​

Just 13 days after the tax law was passed, Charles Koch and his wife, Elizabeth, donated ​

nearly $500,000

to Ryan's joint fundraising committee, according to a campaign finance report filed Thursday.

It looks like House Speaker Ryan is quickly being rewarded for passing this legislation that overwhelmingly benefits the Kochs and billionaires like them, Adam Smith, spokesman for campaign finance reform nonprofit Every Voice, told the International Business Times, which first reported the Koch contributions. Quickly republicans are cashing in on money given to them for helping to lower the taxes of the wealthiest Americans , known as 1%'ers, After all is said and done the richest people in America will pocket the lions share of what trump said would be for the middle class.​

Not shocking. That's how it works and why most politicians are scumbags. Politics attracts the greedy as well as those determined to do good for the country. Sadly, there is so much more money in selling out.
