David and Charles Koch view politicians as "actors playing

out a script." Part of what they want to do with their billions

 is to "supply the themes and words for the scripts" by

influencing "the areas where policy ideas percolate

from: academia and think tanks." This is true, but only 

partially.  They also want to pour their money directly

into local elections, as they have in Wisconsin. If she were

still alive, Ayn Rand would doubtless write a novel about

the Koch brothers, entitled, Koch Blak.
