David Koch was less involved in politics than his brother and more known for his philanthropy to education and the arts, particularly ballet. He gave $100 million to renovate the New York State Theater in Lincoln Center, which was renamed for him in 2008. David Koch also committed millions to various hospitals for cancer research. Quoting the pioneer of political economy, Charles Koch said Friday the "significance of David's generosity is best captured in the words of Adam Smith, who wrote, 'to indulge our benevolent affections, constitutes the perfection of human nature.' Sounds like even the Koch brothers couldn’t stomach Trump. Also sounds like he did some good with that money as well as support Republicans. I find it hard to celebrate any person’s death.The brothers declined to spend anything on the last presidential race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
